Weird tail light issue
My break/turn signal lights work fine when the headlights are off. When they are on, the left brake and turn signal don't work. I have new bulbs all around and they are the correct bulbs.

Weak ground maybe?

This is on a 77 f150 longbed

Thanks

Thanks. I'll check that when I get home.

Mil1ion, That second one mentions no inside turn signals. I have that problem too. I hope they are related.
