Default 91 xj wiring issues HELP!!!

had my car stolen last week, got it back to see my brake lights dont work. Tried replacing the brake light switch, that didnt do it, checked the fuse, it was fine. Now my turn signals dont work. Anyone smart with wiring who can help me out to decide what the problems are?

An XJ with wiring issues? Blasphemy! Youre pulling our legs.

Just kidding.

Remove the taillights and check the wiring and bulbs. Everything. If its got a trailer harness, check that as well. Was the interior ripped apart?

no it wasnt ripped apart. Wasnt hotwired either. My ignition cylinders busted so it doesnt take a key to start it just turns on its own. Im going to look into that. Could be connections somewhere behind my fuse panel from when i messed with the fuse

Since your ignition cylinder is gone, I am guessing you need a new clock spring in the column.
