So late Saturday I noticed that the tail/turn/brake and marker lights on the back of the truck were not working, today I took on that job.

First I tapped the front park lights & the tail light together so that the front markers now stay on with the headlights. You can learn how to do that on the website.

Next I checked for power at the rear, and I was getting it now, to one light, so I pulled it and found that the turn was burned out. Next I pulled the non-working light and found both tail and turn burned out.

Next I found that bulbs were loose in the sockets so they would not ground all the time, so I headed off to town and picked up four new tail lights. I removed the old tail lights and the back up lights {because they didn't work either and I'm going to put flood lights on later}.

So once all four light were installed I found one was not working right, it turn out to be a Bad bulb, yes even new bulbs can be bad.
