Side maker help
I have an 84 f150 4.9 mt and it's the 3rd one I've owned which makes this weird for me to see this on the fenders the truck has side markers which I'm used to seeing had 2 wires coming from the socket this one has 3 wires and at first I thought oh its just a lose wire that ended up here and when I checked the other side it also had 3 wires and due to the fact that one of the wires is ripped out the socket am mangled I need to replace it problem is no one has a 3 wire 194 socket I've checked autozone ,lmc, ebay etc nothing all that shows is a 2 wire any one know what I should do here

That sure doesn't sound right. Maybe previous owner added an extra ground or tied into lights for some reason (to add additional body lights, etc.).
A 194 bulb is only two terminals, so any third wire must be connected to either the power or ground side.
Does this connector look like a factory part (could PO have poked the extra wire through it)?

The number you found is a production number and not a Ford part number. Someone has tossed you a curve......The fender marker lamps utilized Trade Number 194 Blade Bulbs which are Two Wire Socket Push-In Orientation fixture lamps.
