Am hopeing somebody can help me out with this problem.
My front lights work but the rear parking lights don't. The brake light is on, but don't get brighter when the brake is applied. My left turn signals work, the right does not. I cleaned the contractors to see if that would help, but it didn't. I can make it work if I move the box with a screw driver, but not with the switch. It feels like it is not long enough. Is there a way to adjust this?
Thanks for the help.
Sounds like a grounding problem.
When the key is turned on the rear lights well what you call the turn signal lights are not going to come on as they are not running lights or is that the fronts LOL anyhow I think it is the back and just the taillight comes on and they are just for turn.
If only one side isn't working it is an electrical problem. You said it is just the rear one correct. If there is a relay for your rear make sure that is in all the way. If it is on as a running light it is maybe something with the relay if it doesn't turn on at all check to see if the wire is frayed or something like. That good luck I have had a lot of electrical problem(mostly my own doing) they aren't a hard fix but quite difficult to diagnose.
The Ground is split for the turn signals but you could plug the brake light and one turn signal into the y connector. Is there any chance that cable is broken?
Take a look at the Shop manual in the stickies section to see what I mean.
