Default No Brake lights or 4 way Hazard

I have all other lights working great, turn,running, headlights. Just no brake or 4 ways. Turn signal switch, brake switch, headlight switch have all been changed. Any ideas of something I might have overlooked?

Yes fuses are all good in both the distribution center and fuse block.

Not sure about a '93, but the '94 diagram shows a connector for the rear lights. It is supposed to be located behind the left rear panel. On mine, the spare tire is mounted there.
The connector is black in color, and is an 8-pin connector.

Hope this helps a bit.....

That connector under the panel, plus the connection at the fuse were a good shade of green and black. Once cleaned and put back together, all worked fine.

I see you subscribe to this mantra:

Sometimes it better to sleep on it, then attack again the next day. Although I replace things I see now weren't needed. I'm happy though all is working.
