 Since you have tail lights, probably the grounds for the rear lamp housings are (mostly?) good.  Have you tested all your bulbs and examined all the contacts in each socket?

Check Fuse #2, it is common to turn signals and brake lights.  The ignition switch must be on for either to work (but not for hazard lights which are always powered).

Have you checked your turn signal flasher?  It's separate from the hazard flasher.  Both can be replaced by inexpensive US type 552 flashers, if necessary. 

You can check turn signal operation independent of the hazard switch by removing the connector from the back of the hazard switch and connecting together the two sockets at one end of the connecter while leaving alone the four sockets at the other end.  Similarly you can check hazard lights operation independent of the hazard switch by connecting together the four sockets at one end while leaving alone the two sockets at the other end.

The brake lights are independent of the turn signals and hazard lights.  The brake switch is located in the pedal assembly.
