Lightbulb brake pedal brake switch

I own a 1995 blazer 4 door 4.3 engine, so my tail lights don't work, I have checked bulbs and fuses and have replaced all, but still they don't work, so I bought a switch that goes above brake pedal I have 4 wires but there are 6 tabs on the new switch, any info on this could help. Thank you

On mine, a 2000, it just plugs into the connection. Plug and play I guess you could say. Have to say I'm surprised a '95 is hardwired.

Did you pull the connection and see if it would still plug into the switch? Just because there are 4 wires and 6 pins, it doesn't mean that the connector wouldn't go in properly. There may be contacts that don't get used in your particular application.

If your hazards are not working, then the problem lies in the multifunction switch.

The multifunction switch is located in the steering column. The hazard switch and the turn signal stalk are both part of the multifunction switch.
