Re: 87 pickup woes!
Check the wires from the housing all the way to the front. There may be a bare spot that is grounding out.

Re: 87 pickup woes!
I had a truck in high school that did this until it finally got on my nerves to the point I had to do something . I found that the wires were pinched between the frame and the bed . Lifted the bed a little to release the wires , rerouted them , and the problem was taken care of . Once I started looking for the problem , it only took a short time to find the problem . Frank
