Question help with turn signal and brake light issues.

My tail lights and blikers stopped working. But hazard and brake lights work fine . I had issue before and replaced the tail fuse and it started to work correctly again. You thinks it could be the same fuse? I bought and replaced flasher last time also. Any clue ??

First check fuses then let us know. But I recently got done with a "no tail light" problem. It ended up being my "fail light indicator sensor" - which leads me to my next question...
Does it tell you that your lights are out when you look at the dash? Or does it look like everything is fine?

the light on your tells you to replace the bulb inmedialtly because it is breaking down, if you step out you wil see a tail light missing bang on it with the hand fixed my problem with the dash light and the taillight but replacing the bulb is the correct thing to do.

but this seems to be a wire problem and it is blowing fuses.
it has got nothing to do with the dashlight that is warning you that a talilight is failing.
fuses that keep blowing need circuit inspection for that you should dive into the manual.

Yes I think there might be a wiring problem. I have to tilt the steering wheel a certain way and the blinkers will work fine. If i move it no blinkers and sometimes no tail lights either .

the only reason i ask that is because your car "Should" tell you when a bulb is out, and my "Tail light fail indicator relay" went out and since the tail lights are wired through it, they all went out as well. So i had no tail lights but i did have brakes/signals/reverse/and license plate lamps

but your problems sounds more like a turn signal switch not making a very good contact...but im not sure.
