Okay this is a follow up to an earlier post I made. *Here is what I wrote in it: * * * * * * * * * * *hi everyone, * * * * * * * * *I have a 1989 chevrolet k 1500 4x4 truck. *Had some work done on the * * * * * * * * * * * * box recently (it was removed) and when i got it back my tail lights * * * * * * * * * * * * havent been working properly (the tail light wires were frayed off about * * * * * * * * * * * * five years ago when my upper shock mount broke but were re-wired up and have * * * * * * * * * * * * worked fine up until now).. I have both running lights, when i hit the brakes * * * * * * * * * * * * the driver side brake light works but the driver side reverse light comes on as * * * * * * * * * * * * well, the other side has no brake light at all. *When i put it in reverse, no reverse * * * * * * * * * * * * lights work at all lol. *I checked the wiring underneath. *everything appears to be wired * * * * * * * * * * * * up (none loose or anything) and the ground appears to be ok. *any ideas what the hell is * * * * * * * * * * * * causing this to happen?? Okay, so tonight I replaced all of the old wires with new ones, re- wired the ground and put new bulbs in the tail lights and guess what??? *They still aren't working right!! *As well, putting the right side signal light on makes the left side reverse light blink??? *I replaced each wire at a time so no to mix them up when i was re- wiring. *Really stumped right now. *only thing I can think of is that the sockets in the tail light circuits must be bad and need replaced. Anyone got any ideas suggestions?? -M |
both sides tonight. while its a little better, its still messed up.
here's a summary:
Park Lights Off:
Left side -- OK
Right Side -- Both Reverse lights flash
Brake -- Both reverse lights come on, left side brake light comes on.
R -- right side brake light comes on
hazard lights -- both reverse lights flash, left side brake light
flashes, right side brake light does not flash
With Park lights on:
LS -- OK
RS -- Both reverse lights come on
B -- Both Reverse lights come on
R -- Nothing
Hazard -- Both reverse lights flash
No idea where to go from this point. I think I've checked
everything. Anyone got any ideas/suggestions???

didn't get the correct wires spliced back together.. Check for
a splice and take it apart and look at it.
