Chevrolet: brake lights 95 Chevy Lumina, car tail lights, chevy lumina

Question
HI,
I just bought my son his first car. Tail lights work but brake lights nor ER flashers do not. Fuses in dash seem ok. Under hood, fuses marked ABS...no fuse in it. Could this be the problem? Please help. Can't allow my son to drive it until we figure out whats wrong.
Thanks a bunch,
Julie

Answer
Julie;
   I would first check all fuses-than check the flasher unit-than check all bulbs as it only takes one to short out, and look if the wire in the trunk came un-done.When the dash lamps go out that means most of the time your tail or brake lamps went out.You can check with a test lamp to see if you have juice back there
