Were they working before and did you change anything. If so look there first.


One thing I have seen and didnt understand how -but a bad bulb caused a lot of weird issues with the blinkers If you put new bulbs might take em out one at a time and see what happens.

Also check the ground connections. Weird things happen in the lighting when there isn't a proper path back to ground.

Well I changed all the bulbs and it's doing the same thing. The guy that had it befor me went from a column shift to the floor. Do you think he had to remove the wheel to get the shift off the column? The hole is still there with a cap on it.

First make sure the hazard switch is off. Then try the brake lights, turns, park lights and hazards and list which bulbs (front, rear and dash indicators) work and which don't. It sounds like the wiring is screwy but the hazard switch could cause some of the same symptoms.

I bet your horn doesn't work either. Missing the yellow wire.

What is there looks right on that side of the connector. Look at the mating connector and also look for any splices on either side.

The rear turn and brake lights go through the 2 pin connector.
