okay so I ust got my new bed on and was hooking up my taillights and they are acting weird. the turn signals work fine but when you push the brake the right side will blink when you have the left side swtich activated also the tail lights do not operate and im lost im about redy to run new wires all the way back. please help

 

How did you match them up? Match the colors or did you mark the original ones before you remove the old bed?

 

it sounds likewhen you put the bed on you pinched the ground for the brake light so its feeding throught the blinker to the ground

 

I was thinking ground issues too.

 

well the only ground that i know about is in the back on the left side and i cleaned it up completly and reattached and it is still doing the same so i cut back and separated all the wiresand know im kinda lost on what to do?

 

did you remove any bulbs?...a wrong/backwards bulb can cause fits...and yes,that ground.
any trailer harnesses?..one of those splitters?

 

i replaced all the bulbs on both sides and the top too are 3157k and the bottom reverse is 3156'sthere is trailer wiring and that is why i cut it all off and wondering if i should try from scratch???? before i put my bed on the tail lights werent working but i thought it was just the bulbs what do you suggest? electricity is not my forte...

 

You could get a friend to help push the break pedal, blinkers, headlights etc while you checked everythign with a test light just to trouble shoot and find out where the problem is and isnt. You could do it without help but it just might make it a little easier on you not having to get up and down a bunch of times.

 

Now that i think about it i had a problem similar to that on my 95 Z71. It took me a while to find the problem but believe it on not the problem what with the hazzard light switch. I was broken off on the inside. I never did fix it but i did rig it by using some tie wraps to hold the button down and in the proper place.

 

I had to do the test light thing just to wire up my led light strip. Its a pain but its the only way to get the wires all sorted.
