I've had problems with my turning signal lately, and now it doesn't
work completely when i press on the brakes. Is this an expensive
problem or would it be an easy fix.

Thanks.

Should be an easy fix and it is probably the grounds at the rear tail
lights.
Like Madesio said..............clean all corrosion off the terminals and
bulbs and if you need to add a ground wire or two to the light I won't stop
you! lol
Please make sure that you have the correct bulbs in those sockets too!
