front blinker problem

I have no front blinkers. I just got back from a road trip and had a burnt out rear tail light, both front marker lights were burnt out. I have a fab four bumper with the marker lights wired up to fab fours specs. Everything worked fine for weeks.

I replaced all the bulbs and everything that was burnt out now works. All fuses are good. The rear blinkers work fine but the fronts do not.

What could it be. Is there a relay I am missing. From what I understand these trucks have some quirks when it comes to lighting and wiring.


Thanks,

A shorted wire in your harness maybe?

Check for a loose ground wire.

Both front lamps are fed from the TIPM. They're fed different from the rears. If you didn't use the factory grounds I'd bet grounding is your problem. even if you did, I wouldn't rule it out.

fixed it..

Although there were no codes or check engine codes present. I cleared the codes with the smarty and I now have front blinkers. So I guess it was a function of the TIPM.

It was a short in the fab four marker light that was in the socket. all fixed.

Thanks,
