Probably a dumb quesiton

Sorry for the stupid question but my blinkers and brake lights quit last night and I am assuming it's a fuse. Where would I look for this fuse at. I tried to google it and couldn't find a location for it. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

When I had my 93 I had a similar problem. Changed the fuse just like you with the same result. Then I started messing around with the wires at the back-side of the fuse panel and found a couple almost burned off where they connect to the fuse. Cut them off and put power to them from another source along with an in-line fuse and all was good again. Hope this helps.

My bosses truck had the same problem except it was a 97 i think. Had to replace the blinker/headlight switch assembly on the left of the steering column. Although the older trucks are set up differently.

Not sure if Ma Mopar was still doing it for the 91.5-93 trucks....but up until the early 90's all the lights, turn signals and brake lights ran through the turn signal switch. Not the greatest set-up since it would cause many and hour wasted trying to track down the problem.

Make sure your hazard switch isnt on, and possibly no flasher unit in the socket.
