If the fuses are good you probably have a short.
Do you have power at the fuse block?

Check to see if that long flat plug at the bottom of the steering column is plugged in well.

There is no relay for brake lights.

Hazards and turn signals both have their own flashers though. And, the flashers are interchangeable.
