69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
I have a 69 C-10 and my question is- do the front marker lights in the fender flash when you put on the turn signal. I have one side flashes but the other does not. I changed the bulbs but no help. How do I fix this?

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
I thought in 69 they were just reflectors with no lights. And 70 up were park lights. But either way they don't flash.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
All my side markers light up and the right front flashes when i put on the right turn signal. Do I have a short or something? Where do I start looking to fix this???? Thanks for any info, this is strange!

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
It's probably a ground problem. I'd start by pulling the light and cleaning the ground or running another ground to see if that helps.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
Start at the right front turn signal and see if it is wired to the side marker light. I bet it is.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
Probably be better if they both flashed. More of a modern safety feature for lane changes.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
The front side markers flash with the turn signals on my 72, but the rears don't. 69 must be different though. It kind of bugs me that the rears don't flash, doesn't look right to me! I'm thinking about trying to re-wire them so they do. Joseph

If you wire the rears to flash, be ready for the lights to come on when you step on the brakes also

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
My '69 Chevy has just reflectors installed front and rear. Before I install my new engine next month I am going to add the wiring needed to install lights at all 4 locations and have them flash as well. The huge amounts of conjested traffic in my area almost requires it for safety reasons.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
I believe that in 69 they were reflectors( mine were)might have been optional for lighted side markers? When they went to lighted side markers the fronts flashed but the rears do not. With no headlights or park lights on the fronts flash at the same time. With the headlights on they alternate flash. The rears just light up with no changes. If you want the rears to flash its just a matter of where you ground it.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
Has anyone checked the wiring schematic? I'm almost positive it shows lighted front side markers. My '69 C20 has lighted front and rear side markers. They do not flash with the turn signals.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
My 1969 CST/20 came from the factory with reflectors. I was told it was made in early Dec. 1968. It also did not come with some of the other items that were standard on CSTs later in the year such as a headliner, cargo light and bright trim on the reflectors. The markers may have been changed to lights later in the year. I believe lighted markers were a requirement starting with the 1970 model year trucks. Below is a link to a GM document dated April 1, 1969, for the 1969 Chevy Trucks. If you look at the 8th and 9th pages for C10s and K10s there is a section that shows "Lights and Reflectors" and lists "side marker reflectors as standard equipment". The 12th page showing options lists "bright side marker reflectors" as part of the CST package. This same data is repeated throughout the document for 20s, 30s Suburbans and Blazers. I always thought all the deluxe (bright trim) markers were lighted. Has anyone ever seen any of the deluxe markers that did not have a bulb socket?

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
here is the wiring diagram. They should light, but not blink.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
Prior to 1970, side marker light were optional. After 70 they were all lighted. I do not remember if they were tied into the turn signals or not. I don't think they were that way until the square body years.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
When I completed my 71 and started to shake down the electrical system I was surprised by front markers blinking. I thought I had a short! or miss wired them. but the harness was original as was the turn switch . stock GM, functioning per design! cheers, Pat

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
I hardly ever see any that flash. My guess is they werent supposed to.
Firstowner69, i have a set of 69 CST side markers with no light provision. Mine is also an early 69.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
Its more wire, but if you wire the rear side markers up to the front side markers, then there would be no brake interaction.

Re: 69 C-10 Front side marker- Do they Flash?
Thanks for the reply. Are yours just the plain Jane reflector type markers or are they the deluxe version with the stainless trim? I've never seen the deluxe version without the provision for lights.
