Rear Side Markers
« on: August 24, 2021, 05:57:19 PM »
I bought a brand new rear harness for my 1976 C10 and I can’t seem to get the rear side markers to turn on. My old harness had no issues with the side markers and I can’t seem to figure this one out. I am using new bulbs and I even tried it with the old bulbs which were working fine. Any help is appreciated.

They rely on body grounds at the rear tail light opening. Are they connected, clean and tight?

For the taillight ground, are the eight mounting bolts for the bed the grounding of the bed? Or is there an additional grounding somewhere?

Wondering if there's a different grounding scheme with the new harness.
