Ok, here's my problem. Turn my lights on, head lights, tail lights, and side markers come on. But no front markers, (the ones below the head lights) and also my instrument cluster light doesn't come on. What can this be? A bad ground? I just replaced all the fuses.

Thanks for any help.

I think for some years the lights below the headlights were just turn indicators.

I'm not going to say your wrong Pete, but i put my turn signal on and my tail light stays lit up and doesnt blink. But, I put my flashers on and only the tails blink. Still no front marker lights. :mad: eletrical gremlins.

check the sockets for corrosion. :thumbsup:

I replaced front sockets for inop lights on more than 1 MJ.. they might look OK, but they arent. Test power at the socket terminals, and if you don't have it, test power at the wires just back from the socket with a probe or something. Chances are power is good on the wires, but not good into the sockets.

You guys are on your game. I just hooked it up to my DD MJ and same thing, just the side lights came on, no turns. So the sockets must be bad. Is there a solution i can let them soak in? Or just got JYing and get some better looking ones?

get new ones in the HELP! section, its a ford socket, can be found in any auto parts store (not even behind the counter) just cut yours out, carry it in, match it up, wire the new ones in.

 

should cost less than 20 bucks, (I'm thinkin like 10 or so max)

 

i'm thinking somebody needs to do a DIY write-up on this including the help! card part number.

Looks like i'll do one. headed to the parts store now.

Thanks for the help guys.
