Why would the turn signals and tail lights work but not the brake lights or flashers after installing new flasher bulbs and fuses on 1986 Ford F150 truck?

Console lights and brake lighting are on different circuits (Fused seperately). Check the following: bulbs, bases, corroded connections, poor ground, blown fuses, faulty light switch.
