i have a electrical problem. i have front and rear lites (when u pull out on lite switch), only side marker turn signals, and no rear brake lites, and no rear hazards. ive checked fuse box and lite bulds, and im in process of checking grounds. ive also replaced the brake lite switch close to the column. any and all help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
 
Turn signal switch in the column is likely fubar'd. Brake and Hazards are run through the column switch. They're not that expensive, but it is time consuming to replace.
 
Mine went crazy. Turned out to be a short in the wiring harness for the trailer (pigtail). If you have one, you might want to check that also.
 
multi-meter is ure friend. turn em on and check voltage too, then if nothing dissconnect batt and start hunting for resitance from there. when u findshort go back twords open till u find it. take patence but is easy if u have wire diagram.

i have got 2 cars for free cause wire problems turns out 6pack and 2hrs later got it working fine. still have my 86 couger-runs great

just stick with it ;)
 
ive checked fuses, and bulbs. all where ok, im gonna start checking grounds and im going to purchase a test lite soon. i was just throwing this out to see if i could get some ideas or if anyone had this happen to them. if i find out anything ill repost soon. thanks.
