I copied this from an earlier question:
What could be wrong with brake lights, if not the switch, bulbs, or fuses?
The brake lights have stopped working in my Ford Explorer. The bulbs are new, the brake switch is new, the fuses are not blown. What else is there to check?

Sounds like you've been doing some guessing! You need to find where the power stops. Use a test light at the sockets. If no power, go to the wire to the socket. When you find where power goes in but doesn't come out, you have your answer. Assuming there is one answer. There is also a possibility of a ground problem. Good luck.
It could be one of many possibilities. I had a brand new s-10 that I was working on and it would blow out the fuse at weird times. I ended up chasing it down to a bolt that was left under the carpet from the factory. the bolt had rubbed through the wire and would short out and pop the fuse.. sometimes electrical problems can be a bear......

What causes a rapid turn signal on a 2002 blazer?
It has been my experience that a rapid turn signal indicates there is a burnt-out signal light bulb (either front or rear) on the side of the rapid blinking signal. If the right signal is blinking rapidly, the problem is in the signal lights for the right side (front or rear) of the vehicle. Turn the rapid signal on and step out of the vehicle to find which bulb is not lighting.

Why don't your turn signals work when your hazard button broke?
In nearly every case the actual turn signal wires run from the bulbs in the turn-signal housings directly to the hazard switch. This is done to allow the hazard system access to the turn signal bulbs without having to run an additional set of wires out to each bulb just for the hazard system. To make this design work the primary turn signal system feeds the outputs it wants to send to the bulbs, located out in the turn signal housings, into the hazard switch itself. So the hazard switch is actually a multi-pole double throw switch that connects the actual turn signal wires from the bulbs to either the hazard circuit or to the turn signal circuit depending on the position of the switch control button/knob. So if you cannot operate the hazard switch because the knob broke off then it is likely stuck in hazard mode or somewhere in between and it cannot connect the bulbs wires to the turn signal system while in this state.
