The night the lights went out
The taillights, side lights, and dome light went out last night on my 72' longbed. I have changed all of the fuses to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas on what may have gone wrong and how do I fix it?
Thanks Christopher |

That happened one night on my 70. An open wire on the back for a trailer light switch shorted out and blew the fuse. So as I hit them on they went out.

If all the fuses are good then you need to check light switch as all the above are powered thru it.

This is pretty wild, three posts going on right now with almost the same exact problem. Here is my post and my last reply shows where my problem was http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=173436
