Turn signals and flashers not working

Need a little help again. My turn signals and flashers are not working on my BX1500. I can hear the clicker when I depress the signal button but no light. I hear nothing when I depress the hazard button and no light. There are three fuses in the block and all looked clean and intact. The bulbs all looked clean and serviceable. the headlights and red tail lights work. Is there supposed to be a brake light when you depress the brake pedal? If so, the tail lights don't get any brighter. Any ideas? Searched previous threads with no luck. Thanks as always for the help.

There is an automotive type flasher relay under the dash. It's possible that it could have a loose connection, loose wire and/or bad flasher.
Check and make sure all the woes to the flasher switch and turn sig switch are good and connected. It wouldn;t hurt to pull the wireing conector off then replug them back up to the switch(s).
Fuses can be misleading sometimes, they can look good but still be open. You may want to check them out w/a meter just to make sure.
Make sure all the grounds are good and tight also.

re. brake light. Theres no brake light on any of the BX's or B's.

Volfandt, looks like I had a bad fuse. Hazards are working and so are signals. The odd thing is that all yellow lights come on when I depress the turn signal switch, then the appropriate side flashes. Is this normal?

Yes, odd as it is, thats the way they work.

re.intermittent flashing lights, make sure the ground wire and/or light fixture ground is good and tightly grounded. Intermittent grounds can cause all kinds of strange problems on tractors.
