Truck was acting kinda weird this evening, so I'll try n spell it out the best I can so ya'll can pick it apart
It first started the other day, I had the left signal on, it was blinking, then it just stayed "stuck" with the light on (inside, not sure about the outside ones, of course). By the time I got to work I had forgotten about it, never thought of it again.....
Until tonight. Me and the wife were leaving the restaurant, I fired the truck up, soon as I put it in gear and started to pull off, I heard the "ding", and again. I thought it was maybe another brake light, so I tapped the brakes, nothing. I parked it again, hit the brakes, nada, right turn signal, worked, left signal, blinked real fast like a bulb was out. I get out, look, its the rear left blinker out. Upon leaving, I get a couple more random "dings", and thats it....
Heres the kicker. I get home and start going through the checklist... EVERYthing works!!! WTF?! Only weird thing this time was how loud the clicking sound was coming from the brake pedal. Im assuming its the little thing that the pedal hits to kick on the brakelights........? Any reason why that would be extra loud, or am I just now noticing it (after almost 3 years)?
I woulda been just fine if it was a bulb out. But Im really confused as to why it was out, then working fine. Same with the singals...... Any ideas/suggestions ?
FWIW, I haven't fooled with any wiring lately, except for changing my HID bulb, which was wired slightly differently from the original, but I doubt this is my problem....
