    Default 1998 Silverado 4x4 brake/turn/emergency light

    Got a problem with the named vehicle. Left rear turn/brake light doesn't work. Right rear flashes really fast. No emergency flashers. I was told to look for a bad/loose ground. Does anyone have a diagram of where to look for the grounds on this circuit? Thanks a bunch in advance

    The usual suspect is the flasher itself or the bulb sockets. My guess would be rear socket failure.

    Default 1998 Silverado

    Found the problem to be a add on "T" between the main harness and the crossover. The "T" is for trailer hookup. Removed the T and plugged the connectors together and viola! Got lights that work.
