Indicator/Brake Wiring Issue/bad switch??
Permalink  
 

I removed the wire harness running to the rear of the car from the fuse box... I had to climb up under the dash to see it, I missed it before.

So I now know I do have a break and it's between that connector and the taillight, not testing for connectivity through the fuse box or dash, just straight wire to taillight now. So the question is if I correct that wire does that bring back my front indicator. I could prob find out the answer to that quick if I just run a temp brake/turn wire to the right tail and bypass the suspected broken wire.

I updated my pic.

That make's sense Nick . You will probably find a  second connector underneath by the back of the cab and a cross member to split the harness to each side. run the temp wire if it all works just string a new wire to replace the green one and tie wrap it to the existing ones  for now and deal with it next winter  with a new harness .

If the front doesn't come come back on when you fix the rear Just repeat the same process for the wire going to the front at this point it can only be the wire or the bulb. I think you are getting the hang of it .

Have you tried swapping the left/right wires at the switch to eliminate the switch?

If you need a hand with troubleshooting it let me know, I am not that far away.

Well Dan (Hemi43) invited me over to have a look at the truck. He found the problem in probably less than 30seconds........
It was something I had done at the back, a bad splice. He showed me what I need to do differently. Awesome guy super helpful.
A couple other guys were there too. Great to meet everyone and really appreciate the assistance!
