Brake light/Turn Signal issue

well i just got my SS/SC and for some reason all my tail lights will turn on but when pressing on the brakes my passenger light wont get any brighter it just stays the same and as for the turn signal it doesnt blink just stays the same. also if it helps my front headlight blinker works on the passenger side but blinks faster than my left side, any help or advice is very appreciated!

could this be fixed by simply replacing the bulb or a short in a wire?

Try replacing the bulb in the rear taillight. If that doesn't work, come back.

The brake light bulbs have two filaments one for parking lighting a second for braking, hence brighter when braking.

Blinker fluid. Check the tank make sure its full. Need to top it off every once in a while.

First car ever???? And the blinker fluid is classic although oreilies carries clutch fluid which I cannot understand.sits right next to a bottle of brake fluid twice its size for the same price.
