Ok, so I have been trying to trace down an electrical issue in my truck for a little bit now and have finally decided this needs to be taken care of properly. My rear tail-light, left side/driver side is out. The brake light works and the blinker works. But the rear tail light and running light do not. When I jumper hot wire to the line, I can get them to light up, so I know it's not the bulbs. I do not appear to be getting any voltage to power. I have checked and tested all fuses and all are good. I ran continuity test through the lines (battery disconnected) and I am good.
At this point I need to trace the wires into the dash and see what's going on. I am trying to determine which relays to check and also if this could be a switch issue. Any ideas on relays and if the switch could be an issue? The passenger rear lights come on no problem, as do both headlights.
The one thing that does pop up that might give hints as to issue - my blinkers work fine when lights are off. But when I turn lights on with blinkers running, the passenger/right side rear blinker and rear tail lamps blink opposite of each other - marker blink...tail light blink...marker blink...tail light blink. I think that usually indicates bad ground, but I have checked the rear grounds and they are good.
If anyone has any ideas, please speak up and I can try to answer questions. This is driving me crazy. This is a '95 Disco.
