1998 Silverado Tail light issue - PLEASE HELP 1998 Silverado 1500
Driver side tail light has been replaced so its not the board.
Driver side tail light when left signal is on flashes fast as if bulb is out. Driver side tail light also has no reverse. The same light when the signal is on both top and bottom bulb flash. When both bulbs blink they are really dull like they aren't getting enough power or are splitting the power between the two since only one should blink. I also bought the 4 pin trailer adapter and the lights on that do not work either. So my question is this
1. Are there only 4 wires that go from the front of the truck to the back for lights?
2. If yes to #1, my issue would have to be AFTER the wires split to each light since I have already replaced the blinker box?
3. The connectors that are underneath the bed by the hitch come from the left signal or right signal?
