Electrical issue: Stop lamps and signals

I don't know what happened!

Everything was working fine when I left the house. I checked.

90 miles down the road I stopped to grab a coffee. Went back out to the truck, fired it up and no radio. Hmmm. No interior light either. Replaced the radio fuse and both came back. Okay. Went to work. When I went to leave last night, I noticed no brake lights and no signals on the back. Front signals work as normal. Stop lamp fuse looked to be fine, but I replaced it anyway. That didn't fix it. I drove home anyway, but it must be fixed! Where would you suggest I begin my search?

Thanks in advance. Rick

Could be a problem with the hazard switch.

Fair enough. I forgot to mention, the cruise sets, and disengages when you hit the brake pedal so I am thinking the brake light switch is working.

Hazard switch is the next thing in line before the wires head for the taillights.

OOOOOHHHHH NNOOO! It's the dreaded "intermittant electrical fault" . Went out to check it all out this morning and they're all working again! Oh well, when they quit again, I'll start again!
