The problem has gotten progressively worse, and now my tail lights are ridiculously faint, like a flashlight with an almost dead battery. The headlights still work fine, as do the front running lights when I take off the parking brake. Radio, interior lights, horn, brights, they all work fine. I tried new bulbs and swapping fuses and relays with no luck. I replaced the headlight switch, and still no luck. My best guess is that it's a bad ground or something, but I have no idea where to look or what to look for. I just don't know that much about trucks. Any advice on what I should do next?

Look around the back of the truck for a ground harness, probably around the left rear frame rail. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. heyimjason New User Dec 7, 2016, 7:02 PM Post #3 of 4 (1014 views) Re: 97 S10 - blinkers and lights aren't working together Sign In Dumb question - what would that look like?
