86 Comanche

[bhawkin2]

I just got this truck friday the 17th. My front marker lights stay on all the time as well as the left turn signal indicator on the dash. I was thinkin it might be a bad ground somewhere but I wasn't sure. Thought I'd see if any of you guys have run across this problem? By the way it's a 86 comanche 2.5L auto 4x4 If it helps. Thanks

sounds like a ground. i had a similar problem with my taillights when i took a custom trailer plug off my 86. i rewired it to the stock wire chart but when i tried it the lights were stayin on and i found out it wasnt grounded right nemore.

Bad ground. Same problem on my 86 Cherokee. My problem was right at the light socket. Power crosses thru the double filament lights and then feeds back up to the turn signal ground in the dash. Fixed mine by flowing solder over the rusting areas. Long term fix of course is to replace.

Thanks I'll have to check at the sockets,someone actually broke the lenses to take the bulbs out so it wouldn't drain the battery. I got 2 new lenses on the way. Thanks for the help i'll let you guys know where the issue was.

burnt out light bulb could cause that problem, as well as a burnt out flasher relay.
