could it be that there is to new of a steering column in my truck, u turn on the turn signals and the hazards come on , you turn on the hazards and nothing comes on , one more thing u turn the key off and the saften seatbelt light comes back on very dim dont know what thats from either something backfeeding through the ignition?

Sounds like you have a blown bulb somewhere or a bad ground.
-
Does it do it with the running lights on or off or both. What about which turn signal you use left or right what about if you use the brakes . But like capt said sounds like a bad ground or bulb

i have a 78 k10 also, it has a newer steering column too, the one with the blinker that also does the wipers and stuff but thats all disconnected so it just handles turn signals now, anyways i had kinda the same problem, i just swiched out the relays for new ones (both hazerd and turn signals) and took out the gauges and cleaned all the leads and everthing then finally looked at the wires and they were a total hack job so i redid the connetions and now everything works great! all in all it was like 10 bucks and maybe an hour tops. maybe that will help... not a bad idea anyways. do they work outside?

the trucks pretty hacked up best thing would to go through all the hillbilly wiring its a k10 frame with a k20 body with a k10 dash and vin but a k20 cab u all follow me its been down to the frame and just throwed back together didnt find all this out till after the fact it was in my driveway ;D

ha ha yeah id just go through the wiring then, i know on mine the signals are the purple wire and hazerds are yellow, dont know if yours is the same, but maybe yours got crosed or something. there is a wiring diagram on this site in the technical pages, should be able to figure out whats what with alittle investigating.

thats how i found this site did a google search and this came up gonna be pretty useful ;D
-
just took all the tape off the FACTORY wires they are burnt up everywhere no wonder nothin works what to do now? ??? :'( :(
-
Which wires are burned up?
-
the ones goin up to the gauge panel, to the light switch, to the wiper switch, inside the fuse box, not to happy at the moment, u no anyone with a dash harness for sale
-
Find a donor harness or buy a parts truck with the same options your truck has. Check all of your circuits too because there's usually a good reason why wiring burns up.
