You still don't know where the turn signals are getting their power. With a missing #4 fuse that circuit must be tapping off of another circuit if it is working. If you are refering to the service manual M:07:03 #4 on the early vins did power the stop lights also so if #18 is installed and being used the stop lights are getting power from it and not #4. You could be confusing #5. this supplies power to the brake light indicater in the instrument panel. It lights up if you are low on brake fluid or the emergency brake is on. The best thing to do is to go over everything circuit by circuit. On the subject of fuses if the fuseholders do not retain their tension they were overheated and shoud be replaced. As for better connections Eastwood sells a compound for improving electrical connections.
