Re: Strange Problems
That's not all that strange, Two common things to check.
Grounding,which this problem is. Should be a black wire that go's to the frame.They will windup broken or rusty at the frame Some times a good place to start is trailer plugs,I have seen some pretty bad wiring done to hook one up. Also this may help with wire color, Left turns are yellow right turns are dark green tail lights are brown backup lights are light green Grounds are black Last edited by powerdriver 1958; 02-12-2010 at 02:41 PM. |

Re: Strange Problems
i agree with the ground issue but it could also be a bulb issue check the sockets to see if there is a wrong bulb in the socket a single element bulb (1156) in a double filament socket (1157) can do this or visa versa...only if someone changed a bulb recently or this truck is new to you
