How does the wiring run for a back right turn signal on a Plymouth voyager 1992?
the turn signal switch sends current to the turn signal flasher. it then goes to the bulb. The turn signal switch will turn on the turn signal and when the brake is applied it cancels out the brake light as it is a duel element bulb. 1 element is for brake and turn and the other is for parking lights. you can not have a blinker and a constant feed to the same element of the bulb at the same time.

What causes the brake lights not to work on a 1998 Chevy Lumina when the turn signal lights do work?
Your turn signal switch is warn out or broken. Try moving your turn signal forward and back gently while holding the brake on and see if your brake lights come on or flicker. The plastic clips that hold the turn signal switch together brake off or just wear out and because the brake lights run through this switch they don't work. The pin switch for your brakes are under the pedal arm. Try depressing it by hand to see if they come on as it is adjustable (threads controlling degree of compression on button) if that doesn't work jump it with a jumper wire to bypass and see if they come on. If they do-fix switch, if not check the rest of circuit.

One of two things. Either the brake light switch behind the brake pedal. Or try wiggling or rotating your turn signal stalk in a circle motion. If the brake lights work when the turn signal stalk is wiggled then you need to replace the turn signal stalk.
