Default No break lights, hazards, or turn signals

So i lost my turn signals, break lights, and hazards. I have replaced the relay, i checked all the fuses checked all the fuses with new ones, followed all the wiring and nothing looks bad or out of place. Please i need someones help trying to identify why this is happening.(96 4.0 xj classic automatic)

I have all head lights, my brights work, my rear lights work, backup lights, everything. But when i go to turn on my signals i get no noise, no green indicators, and when i press on the break no break light's. And i replaced the parking relay and it worked for like a min then it stopped working and i talked to the previous owner and he said to mess with a red relay under the steering column and that fixed it for him but i tried messing with it and double checked it with a new relay and it didnt chnage the out come.

So replacing the parking light relay 'fixed' the issue for a moment? You had turn signals, indicators, and brake lights?

You have to check fuses for current. Fuse are only as good as current goilng thru them.
