Default 1995 993C4 rear brake lights and signals

Hello all, so i just got my car back from the body shop Industry Garage for the RSR flare install. Looks great but the rear brake lights and turn signals do not work at all, and when i use turn signals the blinkers in front stay on doesnt blink. I looked at fuses and they look good. Any idea how to narrow this issue down? Thank you in advance.

Did they install LED bulbs? That type of odd behavior could be caused by that.

Otherwise, I'd clean the electrical grounds: disconnect the battery and clean the main ground, also find the local ground wire in the rear of the car near the bumper for the tail lights.

I also know a guy who installed the wrong bulb in certain sockets and caused some weird behavior (me). Double check your bulbs - the bases are slightly different for brake/turn/etc.

Good luck.

I do have LED bulbs but they all worked prior to shipping it to Maryland for the body kit. Is there a realy for them? I dont think there is only a fuse. Could the turn signal realy be bad and causing this? My next step is putting it in the air and removing wheels and look for a cut loom. Thanks in advance

I would put incandescent bulbs back in if you still have them. Trouble shoot without LEDs.

Also check the connections. If I remember correctly, it's possible to connect to the wrong bulbs.
