Brake Light, Turn Signal, Rear Light Problem..

[JustinSixx]

Hey guys, my Syclone is giving me some problems.. Okay here's what's going on, if I hit the brake my brake lights and turn signals don't work. If the headlights/marker lights are on the turn signals don't work, and the brake lights lights along with stop, and license pants lights don't work either. I checked the fuses and they are good, but I have a four wire connector unplugged by the fuse box, is that supposed to be like that? Thanks in advance!!

Sounds like you're missing a ground somewhere. That's really the only thing all those circuits have in common...

The front lighting is all off one harness - find the cable from the headlamps and work back to find the connector to disconnect the whole front setup. Then you can isolate the fronts at least. Your rear brake lights are powered from the switch just above the steering column under the dash with the plunger. Work from there too.

Fixed this issue. I was looking around underneath the truck, we'll say inside the rear bumper. I started pulling off the wire looms an found the problem. There was a black wire which was a ground pulled out of what or wherever it connected to. So there are two wire holders that bolt to the rear bumper by a 10mm bolt. I just unbolted the one on the driverside, cut the insulation back to get some new wire. Cleaned the frame up with a wire brush, bolted it up an voila!!! Thanks for all the help and info I really appreciate it! Have a good one everybody!!
