Sockets my be corroded or bad.

Check that brake light switch is hooked up and being activated by pushing brake pedal.

Lights in instrument cluster will usually start working if you take the socket/bulb out clean contacts and slighty "spring" them up then reinstall.

Hazzards not working could possibly be bad flasher or bad contact at flasher.
