My windshield wipers only work on high my my brake lights do not come on at all and my hazards do not work. I checked all the fuses and they were good. My lights have corrosion on one side of my truck. I talked to people they say it is the turn signal switch. So I replaced and still no hazards and no brake lights and my windshield wipers still only work on high. Anybody got a idea what it could be?

Good morning.

When you say corrosion, where do you mean?

Was there any corrosion at the switch for the turn signal as well as the wiper switch?

The tail lights have a little corrosion, right where you plug the bulb in. No corrosion any where near the turn signal switch. Could it be my ground? What other signs would I have if it were my ground wire?

The turn signals would not work. Let me get a diagram.

Okay, attached is a diagram. The turn signal flasher and hazard are a combo flasher but have two feeds. The brake lights also go through the turn signal switch.

There are three feeds to the turn signal switch. Check the fuses with a test light for power on both sides with the key on.

As far as the wipers one of the fuses powers the motor but if that was it, the high would not work. It may be a bad switch or motor.
