kook911 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Ok here is my new problem. I am having trouble with most of my lights and I will tell you what is working. My headlights work and so do my brake lights. The running lights or parking lights will not light up in the front (side markers) or the tail lights will not light up. Also the license plate lights will not light up either. I did also notice that when I hit the turn single that the left side works but the right side does not work. I checked all the fuses and none are blown. Any help will be appreciated.
sloride Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Refreshed your grounds? More importantly, have you clean the wire harness connector going to headlights? It's the one behind left headlight. It gets pretty knarly with corrosion.
kook911 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Posted August 18, 2014 Man was the a hell of a chore finding this gremlin, but i have found it and now everything works like it should. I started with the front connector and that thing was nasty so I do recommend cleaning it if you ever take your front end off. But that did not fix my problems. After I was pretty sure that the problem was not in the front lights, I moved on to the back and discover that hack job the PO did to the wires. He wired up a trailer light and it was all hacked in. So I unhooked that and got the wires back to where they should be. Also freshen up the ground while I had the taillights off. That screw had to be drilled out as it was rusted and PB blaster did not effect it at all. Put a new bolt in and made a test run and everything works.So in the end I believe that what kept blowing my fuses was the hack job for the trailer light. But thanks all for the help and till next time.
Automan2164 Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I used to work for an equipment rental store, and we would fix people's rigged wiring when they would try to pick up a trailer from us. So many bad wiring jobs. It's where I learned what a 'Scotchlok' was, and my hatred of it began. Glad you found it. As Eagle said, if you continue to have any problems, the next most likely culprit is the front bulb sockets. Rob
