I have turn signals and hazards. Brake lights don't work. Radio shorted out. Radio short causes dash lights to go out intermittently. Brake light issue started after radio shorted. Checked all can fuses.

Good morning,

I attached a diagram for you to view. Check the fuse for the brake light switch for power with a test light or voltmeter. This is not a visual test, it is a power test.
