When i turn the left blinker on both of the left tailight signals blink (when only the lower tailight should blink.) When i turn the right signal on, the leftside blinkers shut off. I replaced the bulbs,and sanded a new contact for the chassis ground. Neither has made any difference. Could the turn signal switch be bad or is the tailight board frying out?

The easiest thing to do would be to take them out and check your wires. There should be one for the stop/turn signals and one for the park lights. Just get a test light and check the wires. If you have power to when the switch is turned, pedal pressed and lights turned on, on the correct sides at the correct times then the boards are bad.... I don't remember for sure which ones come on & which ones don't but just pull the bulbs. 1157 are dual filament bulbs for stop/turn & park and 1156 are singles for park only.. The frt two #s may be different but 57 is dual & 56 single. If both have 57s then they both should come on when the brk is pressed. If it has a 56 then it's park only.....l Since it was AM assemblies since you got it, it might not have been working correctly from the get go and has just got worse. It would be best to check another truck the same year and see what it does. Like I said, my memory sux and really don't recall if just one or both should come on.... In a nutshell it sounds like you have bad boards.....   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
