well, i bobbed my burb the other day, didnt have these problems beforehand, noticed them when i pulled it out of the driveway... so must be related

i used the same tail lights and everything, just moved it up, i didnt cut any wires as far as i know and i did unplug the taillights but put them back the same, the wire going to them was just looped up and ziptied to the frame

basically...

when i press the brake pedal my amber lights come on...
let off and they go off also...
right blinkers work properly
left blinker indicator is dim and sounds fast, outside you can barely see it in the rear, front grill you can barely see front fender does not blink at all...
pull the headlight switch, everything comes on, but if you use the left blinker it comes on solid and does not blink or click

the ambers coming on tells me a ground is bad, is there one in the back? where is it? maybe i messed with it, but the blinker situation stumps me, i never got out to look at it blink before this, but inside it acted normally, any help would be much appreciated

Unplug , spray with contact cleaner , apply dielectric grease , replug as far as you can push those babies .

And there is a ground to one of the bolt holes under there by where the bumper brackets are on the frame .

hmm, i dont have that lol, where does it trace to?
 
Its been weeks since I laid under mine and looked , but its in the bundle that went to the license light area I think .

I can look when I get home if theres still light out .
 
cory,my ground is on the driver side frame rail near the fuel tank on top if that helps...subs might be different though.
