72 sidemarker question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 72 has all its sidemarkers shaved.
The bulbs are still back there and i want to remove the wiring since it is no longer needed. how can i do this and not get the dash lights to turn on like a bulb is out?
Thanks

I don't think those little bulbs will cause that dash lights to indicate. I think it is only the actual front & rear lights that cause that....not the sides. Or at least on my '69 that is the case.

hmmm because my front and backs both are working and those lights are on. The only thing that is not is the markers

Then you have a ground issue on the front or rear turn signal circuits.
The 194 bulbs do not draw enough amps to make a difference.
