lights!

Post by dirtgum »

ok so i bought a new truck and i have some light issues.

my running lights all work and my headlights work but i have no brake lights and no blinkers.

could this simply be bad bulbs?


can i buy these bulbs from my local pep boys or auto store?

can someone tell me what bulbs to buy?


thanks

Here is a link to a pdf of the Swiss wire schematic.

Pay no attention to the highlighted circuit, it is for other applications :wink:

I agree, check that breaker, had the same problem about two years ago (a couple of times after re-setting it as well). Sprayed some electrical contact cleaner in there and than followed with compressed air. No problem since than. compressed air is now part of my annual maintenance. :D
Pinzing is AWESOME.

The breakers do go bad, so check that breaker for continuity too. (perhaps obviously)
