    Ok guys need your expertise. When i turn on my cab marker lights (on its own switch) the left turn lights come on and the left blinker does not work. With cab lights off the cab lights blink with the left turn signal... go! 2004 379

    Normally a broken filament in a bulb causing a short. Unplug trailer cord and test. Trailer end first and truck end second. Then left tail light, LF turn, mid turn. Easiest to unplug first. Isolate and fix the problem. Could be a bad ground on a light also.

    Sounds like a bad ground....but definitely check the rear tail light bulbs...had a similar thing happen and it was just a tail light bulb..
