Some more help on my truck.

We just replaced the under the dash wiring harness and we have everything hooked up and we don't have headlights, everything else works but those (brake lights, instrument cluster lights, etc.). We are not electricians by any means and we have no idea why they aren't working. If someone can help us out and possibly post some pictures with the process of it, I'd appreciate the help.

Check your dimmer switch. That will not let your head lights work

I concur. Mine is doing this right now.

Yeah, we don't have any lights but the high beams currently. That and my right back taillight doesn't work when I pull the switch out to turn on the lights, but it works fine when the lights are off.

Well, we figured out that the high beams work and we're gonna replace the headlights now.

Re: Some more help on my truck.

Can someone help me out with why my back right brake light won't work when I turn my lights on?

Re: Some more help on my truck.

Double check all your grounds. You can never have enough grounding on these trucks. I have two of these trucks and when I have a problem (like switches) I just go over and take the one off the working truck and then I have found the problem.
