I've read a number of posts on this, but, not sure why my issue is. For what it's worth, this truck is 'new' to me after having sat for 6 years. She's on the road now, running great, but, there is odd behavior going on with turn signal lights and it varies when the brakes or headlights/running lights are on.
At first, I just basic issues getting ANY turn signal bulbs to light up. So, I went to the junk yard and got the 'Turn Signal/Multi-function control' switch, which I think came out of an '01. Turn signals then worked perfectly ...or seemed to. I hadn't driven at night, so didn't test what things were like with the running/head-lights - and after doing do, I have a mixture of:
I bought 2 new signal Flashers, with a tiiiiiiiiiiiny difference - blinkers blink a little quicker, but, still all the odd lighting/non-lighting of the tail light bulbs. I also checked all relevant fuses - all good.
Thoughts?
Thinking the 'turn signal/multifunction control' switch may either have issues or just not compatible with my year?? But, after reading that this is a relatively common issue, I didn't want to start buying parts left 'n right without some of you all weighing in.
Thank you,
Jay

- Very slow turn signals with lights on
- With lights AND brakes, no turn signals
- Sometimes, when I turn Right turn signal either Both or left blinker blink....
