I would run a ground strap from the engine to the frame, the frame to the cab, and the frame to the bed. Make sure you have bright metal where they attach. Also, did you remove the bulb to see if the inside of the socket is corroded?

Smile Re: Turn Signal

OK I ran all the grounds as you explain and now I do have turn signal as long as I have the engine running. however if the engine is not running the turn signal only work on the left side which is OK because I only need turn signal when I am driving so I would say problem fixed

Thanks on to the next problem

Re: Turn Signal

If one side performs differently than the other, there's a wiring issue on that side. Typically a ground problem since they're magic.

Re: Turn Signal
