Can you elaborate?
When you say that when you push in the brakes it turns on, do you mean it starts the engine? Or ???
What kind of issues w/ the turn signals?
If you want help fast, you have to provide enough detail people have some idea of what your problem is.

Well brake pedal with any pressure down.. = no brake lights.. UP under the hood i know what ones are my brake lights as i have hit them with a always on HOT wire to see.. they turn on with a always on hot..
AS for the turn signals all i wanted was the From DASH wires LEFT and RIGHT color code.

I dont know if those kits retain the factory wire colors, but w/ the brakes...
Make sure the MC switches work. For testing, you might just jump the switch and see if they work.
If not, go to the back, find that wire, and make sure it is connected to the brake lights.
If so, make sure they have a good ground.
