Signal lamps help again
Had these things figured out last year, ugh! Had to pull my steering column to put in the dash seal today. Put her back together now rear lamps acting crazy! Now when I turn the lamps on the left signal dash indicator glows. Glows with signal switch harness disconnected or connected with light switch on. Left rear signal lamp blinks as it should and left brake lamp works. No lamps at all on rt rear side. No rear lamps with light switch on. What wires do I need to focus on. I got a few sketchy wires I knew where problems before but have fooled with everything and can't figure it out. All was good before pulling column that's why I wanted to just cut the thing in there.
Thanks http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...psvbylw5bo.jpg |

How are the front turn signal/running lamps?
Sounds like the turn signal switch connector is not fully connected, verify and push each wire from each side of the connector together to ensure each is seated to the other, sometimes they can pull out of the plastic connector and appear to have a connection but do not. The glowing indicator lamp should go away if you remove the turn signal bulb in the front. If it goes away then the glow is because of a bad bulb or connection. Nothing on the right rear side is an indication of the turn signal switch not connected. you could check for power at the turn signal switch connection |

Re: Signal lamps help again
I helped fix this same issue earlier this week but cant find the thread right now.
Do the front side markers light up? On the right rear, please switch the bulbs in the back side to side and post back, or check for power with a test light at the bulb pins. |

Re: Signal lamps help again
Also verify the ground from the gauge cluster is attached to the right of the steering column, clipped to the lower dash...there is a lip facing up which it clips onto.

Re: Signal lamps help again
I understand you didn't pull the cluster, but you did pull on the wiring for the steering column and the ground is in that same part of the harness.
Are the side markers lighting up? Check the right rear with a ground wire, touch one end to the bumper or frame and the other end to the side of the bulb, the brass part , while the light bulb is installed and the headlights on...this provides a known ground. |

Re: Signal lamps help again

Re: Signal lamps help again
Check power to the right rear taillight pins and the side marker pins

Yes it went out once I pulled it out |
Re: Signal lamps help again
That bulb is bad then or the marker lamp bulb is bad, change them or change side to side

Re: Signal lamps help again
So is the dash Indicator still glowing?
Change the front bulb to the rear and see if it flashes |
Re: Signal lamps help again
If you have a test light see if it flashes at the turn signal switch yellow and
Green wires, one is left turn the other is right turn |
Re: Signal lamps help again
And or test pins at rear light sockets with test light
|
Re: Signal lamps help again
The rear turn and brake voltage begins at yellow And green at turn signal switch then follows up to by gas pedal 4 wire connection which leads to rear bed light harness

Re: Signal lamps help again
I believe the glow is from the front turn signal or side marker lamp
|
Re: Signal lamps help again
Remove the front side marker bulb and verify front flashes and indicator is not lit with lights on
|
Re: Signal lamps help again
Also just as a test unhook rear light harness at firewall and see if indicator quits glowing
|
Re: Signal lamps help again
