Electrical Headaches...

Hmmm im going to check the grounds around the lights in a little while.
A friend of mine claimed that it must be my combination switch on the turn signal lever... Dunno if i buy that. Maybe... I will thoroughly check grounds before pulling the column apart.
 
I guess I never posted a reply after finding out what was going on- there was a broke electrical connector inside of the bulb socket. It was for the ground.
-And it looks like the factory wiring has the grounds for several bulbs on each side of the truck "daisy chained" so that several bulbs ground through each other, before actually going to ground... (Saving them what? A foot of wire?) So when my ground connector broke- craziness happened.

Everything fixed now- was definitely that little clip inside the bulb socket. I had some extra lights- had to do a little cutting and soldering. Can't remember how I even discovered it now. Could have broken when plugging or unplugging the bulb- maybe from age and vibration. Who knows- glad that prob is fixed- on to bigger and better ones!
 
GrrrrrrrAaaaaaaawWWRRR!!!

2-3 months... Now the same problem is back. A nice officer told me i was having electrical probs...
I guess i need to start checking all my bulb sockets and grounds again.
