Before you get too involved in the wiring issue. Get some contact cleaner (they may still sell it at Radio Shack) and spray the switch under the brake lever, the one behind the cover behind the brake pedal, and the bulb sockets. If you can find a tiny bristle brush that helps with the sockets. Then test the lights and brake. Sometimes a film builds up due to age and weather that corrodes these contacts.

I've tested the switches an the contacts an they work. I also noticed that the right indicator doesn't come on if the hazards are on.

Does the running light on the right front work?.. Also does the rear turn signal work as well?.. Either on the flash or on the hazards?... Does the turn signal on the right on the Dashboard work?..

I suspect a break in the GREY wire as it comes from front and rear bulbs and the hazard switch.. If the ground wire (yellow/black) was broken, the front running light would be out too.. Im also assuming the side markers are working..
