Hi there! My name is XXXXX XXXXX X would like to try and help you resolve your problem! Hopefully, together, we can get to the bottom of this !

Can we start with the vin number Please ? Just the last 8 digits!

Expert:  Andy3221 replied 2 years ago.

So you have no park lamps but headlamps are ok?

Customer: replied 2 years ago.

HEADLAMPS/HIGHBEAMS, CAB LOWER FRNT MARKERS, BRAKE LIGHTS, FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNALS ALL OK - JUST NO BOX LIGHTS OR REAR RUNNING LIGHTS

 

EVER SEEN THIS ONE?

 

Expert:  Andy3221 replied 2 years ago.

If you open the hood , have a look at a brown 8 pin connector located on the firewall on the left side just above the left front fender ! If you unplug it, you might find some heat damage in the connector from terminals spread causing heat and eventually , youlose contact and lights will go out! Let me know what you find!

You already advised I check that - I saw no damage whatsoever.

Expert:  Andy3221 replied 2 years ago.

If you unplug there , can you check for power at the lower pins of that plug on the firewall with a test light ? Make sure you have park lamps switch on!

Customer: replied 2 years ago.

what do I do next with this truck?

chuck

Expert:  Andy3221 replied 2 years ago.

Sorry! I have been gone for a few days ! Family problems ! It sounds like something is overloading the circuit and blowing the virtual fuse in the body controller ! If you run lights for a few minutes , then lights go out , try turning the switch off , and cycle the ignition off then on again ! If you turn the light switch back on , do the ligths work right away again?

Customer: replied 2 years ago.

No, they are still out.

 

Sorry for the delayed response.

 

What else can I do here?

 

Do you have a wiring diagram for this lighting sys? or can you tell me the basic layout of the curcuit? (ie... bat, to fusebox, to switch, to lights? where is the body ground?

 

A clue.....why is it only top box,tail,cab uppers.....and brakes or directionals? (they work)

Customer: replied 2 years ago.

Andy, you still around? I need to do something about this. Dont worry about the $ just tell me what you get when we are solved.

 

Now the lights dont come on at all... any ideas????

 

help!
