Angry No brakes lights,turn signals,hazards??

All fuses are good and the bad have been replaced. I just bought this truck from up north where it sat all winter. It runs great. 302 inline 6. Manual.
What boggles me is that the brights and washer fluid comes out and works fine. I've followed all wires from the steering column back into the engine compartment and none seem to be chewed up or damaged. Unplugged everything blew out any dust or debris and still get nothing. Oh and I did not mention the clicking noise I get when I turn the knob for the wipers coming from the brain? behind the glove box.
Any ideas fellas?

It could be the MFS (multifunction switch) on the column has failed, fairly common. Check both flasher relays too.

The problem is the truck I just bought did not come with a users manual. I am not very knowledgable when it comes to cars, I can do some basics. But I do not know where to locate these things you mentioned and I do not have a repair manual handy to find things out.
I have searched and searched for repair manual downloads online for a 92 f-150 to no avail. If I could find or even knew where these things are and what I was looking for it would help but I don't.
Never had anyone around to teach me s**t about cars & trucks unfortunately. So now here I am 30 something close to broke trying to figure out how to fix things without paying an arm and a leg.

I'm to hear about the close to broke thing. I know how that is. Invest your money in a Haynes repair manual. It's worth it.

Ahhh the link you sent me, I have visited. It only goes as far back as 1996, do you think that the truck changed a whole lot from 92 to 96?
