No brake lights or turn signals

[Low Class Yuppie]

So, I've been getting ready to take my Cobra out of storage, and discovered yesterday that the brake lights aren't working, and the turn signals and hazards are kaput as well. The taillights illuminate and the reverse lights work, however. Any ideas?

i had a problem a while ago where my brake lights didn't work but my tail lights and turn signal did. what i found out is that the brake switch attached to the brake pedal the wire was burnt out. i just had to go to my local ford dealership and get a new brake switch and wire it up and it worked fine again. as for the turn signals i'm not sure what that is. have you checked all the fuses. including the ones under the dash (kinda down by the brake pedal)

I'll check the fuses tonight. Let's hope Occam's Razor is right.

The fuse for the brake lights & turn signals was melted! I replaced it and they worked again for a few miles before failing again. So the fuse is not the problem - something is causing the fuse to blow.
