2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission No rear stoplights or turn signals

Having trouble with my 02 Dodge, I have no stoplights or turn signals, stoplight fuse is good and the high center stoplight works but not the rear two. I am stumped, any ideas where to look? Thanks.

I assume the parking/running lights are working OK... ???

Fuse 4 in the PDC?

EDIT: Naw... that would not affect the brake lights...

What happens when you activate the hazard switch?

No flashing hazard lights either... .

The brake light voltage is initiated thru the brake switch. It then splits at an intersection where it goes to the third/cab brake lights and to the hazard switch - turn signal switch (multi-function switch). Since your cab/third brake lights are working we know the circuit is good up to that point. There are two separate circuits that enter the multifunction switch - brakes and turn signals - and both are inop. It almost looks like the multi-function switch may be bad - assuming all fuses (PDC and fuse block) have been verified good. Broken wires?... bottom of list...
Do the hazard and turn signal switches feel and sound as they have in the past, or has there been a slight change?

check the plugs between the two lights on the rear there are two plugs on each side under the bed check them and have you checked lights by chance? if you turn the hazards on do the front turn signals flash?

Got it all sorted, found out it was the electronic flasher unit that took it all out. My old school wiring training is no match for the new eletronics style wiriing. Thanks for your inputs.

Durned new fangled eeelectronic devices... :-laf

Glad it was an easy fix. Now I'm gonna have to get all 6 pages of schematics together to figger the brake lights...
