Problem - Signal, Hazard, and Brake lights have stopped working

Head lights, tail lights, fog (signal) lights in front grill all illuminate when head lights are turned on... drivers side mark does not work but passenger side mark does.

Symptoms - when left signal indicator is turned on, no clicking inside (the left dash turn indicator arrow comes on but remains solid) and only the front fog/signal light on the grill comes on and remains solid. When the left indicator is turned on I get clicking inside but no lights come on at all including the dash turn indicator. Brake lights will not come on at all.

All fuses were checked and are fine. I have not replaced the cannisters in the dash fuse panel (not sure how to check them). I have checked and replace the drivers side marker bulb.

Any ideas on possible solutions would be appriciated.

Cheers
Lawrence

just replace the capacitors for your signal and hazard lights...there's no way to check them at all i had that problem with my jeep and it was the capacitor under the dash

OK heres the latest... bulbs are all good... front drivers side marker is working... still no brake lights or signal lights or hazards. Checked all the fuses and they are good... replaced both of the canisters (turn signal and hazards). When I hit the brake pedal I blow a fuse evrytime.. I have foiled it for now to save on fuses.. I guess there is a short somewhere but where. I cant see any breaks in any of the lines going to the rear. Any ideas!!!!!!!!

it all runs through the signal light/hazard light switch.  bet money that the problem is likely there.  blows fuses for brake lights because switch is shorted and causing everything to light up.  try just wiggling the signal light switch while stepping on the brake pedal.  also, check body grounds
