turn signal trouble

[drmiller1]

Okay, you guys nailed it last time. Here's another lighting problem(ah the wonders of rust) my brake lights work,taillights work, emergency flashers work,and turn signals in front work. The rears do not work...unless I turn the lights off. Then they work. Any ideas? I have ran new ground wires to new rear light sockets and replaced the bulbs. Any ideas at all? Thanks

Don't remember if you told us you did this, but I would put a ground strap from the bed to the frame, one from the cab to the engine (if it's not there already), and one from the block to the frame. I would even put one from the negative post to the core support.

That's what I did on mine to resolve a lot of issues with lights in the back and with the guages...

I bought the straps at O'reilly's auto parts.

do the ground strap thing.... it's cheap.
if that doesn't do the trick... it pretty much has to be in the turn signal switch.
