Re: My truck hates me, help

Darush, it sounds like you have a good feel for electrical the most important things are patience and a good test light. All diagnostics begin with a test light. If power at the fuse side, then it is between the fuse block and the bulb - whatever the bulb may be. As they are all not working in clumps it sounds like the firewall section of the fuse block is not tight or there are pinched wires going back to the tail section. There is a connection joint where the harness connects to the rear lights sub harness that includes markers, back up bulbs, stop/tail. Use your test light on that connection. If power there then grounds in the sockets are most likely. If not power there, move toward the front tracing the hires all the way to the firewall connection, look for breaks. I test from the cab side, sticking the test light probe into the connector. If power there, then you missed it in the wire run to the back. If no power at firewall connection (to right gas peddle) it is most likely at the ignition switch or the harness between the fuseblock and the ignition switch. Good luck, keep us posted!! G.
