Hello all,
Does anyone know why my turn signal display lights don't work in my dash. I have all my lights, and trhe turn signal work outside the truck, but neith left or right show up on the dash. Nor do they show up when I have the hazards on. All the other dash lights work, and are bright. the only thing I can think of is that somewhere there si a short or something in one of the circuits. I also notice that, my rear passenger side is brake and park lights are dimmer than the left, not jsut a little but lot. They have the same bulb. The back up lights have power in the plugs, and the bulbs are good, but when you put the bulb in the socket nothing....Why

Pull the instrument cluster out and check/change the bulbs is my first suggestion.

I had one brake light that was dimmer too. Turned out it was full of dirt, take it apart and hose it off. While you have it apart, make sure the ground wire is making a clean connection, it bolts to the body behind the taillight. Use some sandpaper and clean the wire end and where it touches the body for a clean ground. That should do it...
