TODAY is a Great Day to visit our Store and order the parts you need for your truck!
...have the rear harness disconnected, the harness that mounts to the truck bed appears to have a short somewhere between the brakes and parks/turns....My symptoms, no drivers/left side park lamps, passenger/right side lamps do work, no turn signals, hazards do work-I switched relays, everything remained the same. I have nothing on right side turn signals-no indication of wanting to flash, no dash light. Left turn is a little more fun, low coolant light flashes, seatbelt and buzzer flash, glow-plugs will flash, and dash left turn will flash. the left side dash turn will also stay lit, although it does it randomly. Lights still don't work....Dash lights appear to work fine as long as the rear body harness is disconnected....
If no problems are discovered, disconnect the turn signal switch below the steering column and feed B+ via a 20-amp fused jumper to each of the dash harness pins while an assistant watches the external lights * (turn/hazard switch harness colors: Lt Blu = LF turn, Yel = LR turn/brake, Dk Blu = RF turn, Dk Grn = RR turn/brake, Wht = B+ from brake switch, Ppl = I+ from turn flasher, Brn = B+ from hazard flasher, Blk = horn, Lt Grn & Tan = key warning switch pair).
"Wht, Ppl and Brn are power inputs to the turn/hazard switch - probing these wires with power will backfeed the electrical system giving "odd" and "unexpected" results.Now because I replicated the exact symptoms I am having with the turn signals, by probing the Ppl, could that indicate that my switch is bad and backfeeding?

I want to double check my cab ground, I can't remember if I made a cab to frame, and that my cab to engine ground is not enough/good through the engine.?? I plan on taking a test lead and running a wire straight from the battery negative to the under dash ground...or I can just run my multi meter negative probe to dash ground and check voltage at positive battery terminal, shouldn't see more then a .30V drop I would assume.
Dark blue-right front turn and side marker.Light Blue- left front turn and side marker.
Only have 6v on ppl wire coming into turn switch- also realized the left turn works with key off and out-never put the key in today.
