Yes if the turn signal switch the brake lights have to go through the turn signal switch because it still has to flash when you have your foot on the brake it's turn signal switch especially if only one side is out

thought:- your not supposed to drive w/flashers on so why would dodge choose flashers over brake light while driving? multiswitch went out on bright headlights/hazards.and now brake lights.turn signals all work,back up, parking etc. all work can't drive cause of multiswitch failure. my 96 aerostar multiswitch still working. ford is made better!!!!
