of course it matters...

sounds to me like a blown fuse though

the taillight portion of the circuit has a seperate fuse than the brakes and turns..

heres a question, do the instrument lights still come on, in most cars, they are tied to the taillight circuit..

aiight I've tried, fuses and redid the wires, still nothing, dont think itsa bulb cuz the brake lights work. But the turn signal lights come on but don't flash! Now what???

replace the flasher under the dash (not the one in the fuse panel but the one up under the dash kinda up by the back of the radio) to fix the turn signal not flashing problem. for the tail lights check the headlight switch.
