Lose Brake lights when directional is engaged

[RECONJON]

Hello

I am having trouble with the flashers on an A3, no flashers are working at all. When brakes are on and directional is engaged, Brake light goes dark and no flashers are working. Does this sound like any thing that would be considered suspect to a regular problem?

Thanks

Most likely a bad ground.

As gerrykan said, prolly a ground. Try cleaning off the grounds at each light and make sure your terminals on the flasher unit are clean and tight.

First, make sure all your batteries are full and the connections are clean and secure. check to make sure all the bulbs are functioning. If your brake lights work without the turn signal, its most likely a ground at the signal. If they don't work at all, then it could be in your switch. Check the TM for your flasher and make sure its functioning. I had a bunch of weird accurances with my lights until I just took the turn signal switch out and apart. Cleaned it up like new cause it was so dirty. I've never had a problem with it since.... Good luck.
