01 step side Silverado 4x4. Hit brakes, amber turn/ pking lites go on. Hit left or rt turn Sig & everything in back blinks. Not electrically brilliant but have basic knowledge.

Bad bulb, socket, ground in rear of truck is likely the answer. Remove or change bulbs one at a time to find where the issue is. Also look closely inside the socket when bulb is removed for corrosion.

Re-established all grounds. There is a junction block back there, that looks pretty bad. Thought I had it fixed for a while then it started acting up. Think I'll order one of those junctions. Looks like a carnival ride back there

Double check all the bulbs as well, over the years I have run into bulbs that one filament breaks and falls against the other filament enough times to make me remember. Also double check that someone has not put the wrong based bulb in there. It is not all that hard to put an 1156 where an 1157 goes. Even the different stagger on the alignment pins will not prevent someone from forcing it. Fool proof, not idiot proof.

Also if you have a trailer connector, I found them that had enough corrosion to short terminal to terminal. Not likely if you are in the south, but in the north with winters and road salt it happens.

Thank you. Picking up new rear wiring junction block, will install as soon as the weather breaks. Also, when very cold it starts & dies, can't feather to keep going. It just starts & dies. Was told it could be relays under the hood. It starts when it warms up. Like when the sun warms things up. Any info would be great. I don't have alotta dough, so economy fix is essential. Thanks again.

Think I found the culprit. Black wire unconnected from main harness. Not sure where to reattach it though. I'll figure it out though. Thank you guys for the help.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
