ok here is where I am. All lights are now at least coming on except for the rear flashers and reverse lights. What I did is tie a hot wire to the turn signal feed on both the column and the truck. then connected each light wire to the corresponding column wire. this gave me flashers but they come on and stay on, I cannot get them to blink. same thing for the emergency flasher. So is it that the wire from the truck that is supposed to be the signal feed is dead and I just need to find a different hot wire? and what do i need to do to make the lights blink. i tested the emergency flasher and it is good as well. just nothing flashes. next??
