Re: Turn Signal Problems

check all grounds. I went through the problem with the rear lights, reverse lights and side markers. cleaned all braided ground wires and added another to the rear box and frame and the lights work great.
One thing I would check are your front blinker lights, make sure they are secured to bumper and sockets are tight.

Good thoughts. Sometimes the brass bulb sockets will be loose in the park light housings, causing a bad ground. I have used a small punch and hammer to tighten these up before without removing them from the truck. Joseph
