Default Brake & Turn Signals

Help! About a week ago, my radiator fan smoked out, at the same time my brake lights and my turn signals stopped working. The third brake light on the trunk lid still works. I have checked all of the fuses I can find but they are all good. I checked the brake light bulbs and they are good - I am stumped. Please help!

What do you mean you fan smoked out?

Sounds like a short . .

it might be a electrical short... if you can check the volts going to the lights... then start moving up...until you have volts...

The radiator fan "smoked", as in: burned up.

Appears that the motor may have seized up (fan motor) the electrical plug melted where it plugged into the fan.

that would cause a short.... a easy way to fix it would be to replace the plug.... and if you have to splice into the other wires... this might work.... then it would no longer be shorting out... allowing the others to work as well...

ok kmagn, the plug is no longer installed into the fan, I installed an aftermarket high performance fan. I have not really examined the wires that went to the original fan plug...maybe they got hot and shorted together. I can check that as soon as this storm is over lol.
