Pull on your hazards and if they flash OK then from the electrical connector coming out of the steering column rearward you are good. Start with: check the pink wire @ the pedal as it should be hot all the time then the pedal switch for continuity when pressed then the white wire that goes downstream on the other side of the pedal to the above connector see if it(the white wire) has fire when you press the pedal and w a circuit tester (they're cheap) w the alligator clip on a wire (connect alligator clip to ground) stab the pointed end into the electrical connector w both halves still together and w the pedal down the white wire should have fire and two wires a dark green and a brown have fire as these are the 2 "out" wires to the brake light large filaments. Check these in order until you find the "open". If the hazards do not work seperate the connector and jump fire to the aforementioned brown and dark green wire in the body half of the electrical connector and see if the brake lights work & if not work downstream until you find the "open". There are several connectors from the column rearward to the sockets and check that the sockets are grounded but most likely they are since both are not working and they probably would both not lose their grounds on opposite sides of the car at the same time.

pull apart the turn signal harness coming out of the column and jump fire to the tan and light green wires & see if that lights up the dash R & L indicator lights respectively
