So my tail light/brakeligjts were both bad about 2 months ago. Put new bulbs in all was good. Now both dont work again. But new bulbs in and they still don't work. This time around the bulbs did not look blow.
I have power at the fuse and replaced the fuse in the dash listed as "tail". Rear side marker lights work, third brake light works, and turn signals work. I am going to grab a multimeter and start checking things. But can anyone help with where the wiring runs? I know it is in the rear quarters but does it go to one side then the other or any particular other electrical items I can check? Is there a large common plug that powers the tail lights AND turn signals that I can check? It's a little tight in the quarter panels. Thanks!
Edit: quick update. Good power at fuse. Driverside plug socket reads about 2.5v with the headlights on and truck running. Passenger bulb was also not on. I pulled that bulb and was able to read 12.5 v. I reinstalled it and messed with it and got it to come on. I think I got a flicker ou tof the driverside after that also. I am think that ng the bulb sockets themself are bad or have bad contacts. Does anyone know if the sockets can be disassembled? I am also going to check the plugs in the quarters becouse I do get water in there.
