Vehicle: '97 D1 XD
Symptom: Some brake lights work, some do not. The brake lights on either side of the rear door do not work. The one on top of the rear door does work, as do the brake lights on a trailer when hooked up.
Attempted fixes:
I checked the bulbs - they are fine
I replaced the brake switch (and adjusted the plunger to fit the pedal)
I disconnected the trailer harness from inside the vehicle - still nothing
I wiggled around the wires on either side while watching for signs of life...nothing.
My thoughts are maybe a bad ground somewhere. Anyone else run into this kind of problem? I searched around and came up with no more clues.
Edit: my dash lights have been out too. Not the speedo / tach area, but in the center of the dash - temp controls, etc.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
