Without doing a "hands on" troubleshooting of your vehicle, no one can tell you what defect is causing your problem. Therefore this answer will of necessity be of a generic nature.
Usually this type of problem is caused by what is called an "open circuit" condition.
Open circuits can be caused by several things, a few of which I can recall now:
- A disconnected connector [or splice] in the circuit.
- Corrosion or road film buildup on the contacts inside a connector.
- Corrosion in the metal "socket" the lamp [light bulb] is inserted into.
- A cut or broken wire in the circuit including the ground wire between the lamp socket and the grounded car body sheet metal.
- If complete and proper troubleshooting of the dysfunctional circuit does not reveal any of the above as causal, then it could be that a switch or relay is defective.
Based on the fact that it's only the turn signals and brake lights I would first fully inspect and check the wiring harnesses those two circuits for causes one and four listed above.
The "proper fix" is for someone who knows what he or she is doing to troubleshoot the nonfunctional circuit, find and identify the problem, and properly repair it.

Brake lights and turn signals are on a separate circuit from the tail lights. Tail lights are on the same circuit with the dashboard lights. If the dashboard lights aren't working either, check the fuse. If they ARE working, check the headlight switch.
Where is the fuse for the brake lights for a 1997 dodge ram 1500?
The fuse for the brake lights on a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 is located in the fuse box under the dashboard on the driver's side. Specifically, it is usually the "STOP" fuse, which is a 20-amp fuse. You can check the fuse diagram on the cover of the fuse box for confirmation and to locate it easily. If the fuse is blown, replacing it should restore function to the brake lights.
