no turn signals in rear, no brake lights in rear and no running lights at all in rear? check the connector under drivers rear frame rail and see if it cam unconnected and also on drivers front frame rail there is a connector under brake booster , check to make sure thats not disconnected

you will need to use a test light and find the connector where the problem lies. a test light will help eliminate unneccessary wire tracing. first start at the wiring at the bulk head. the running light will be brown and turn willo be yellow and green. im fairly confident you will find a connector issue due to the fact that so many lights are out. did you check the ground at the rear yet? make sure its good
