    Hi guys I’m having an electrical problem I believe . It’s on a 1995 t800 with a trailer .
    I noticed when all my outside lights are on my right turn signal light don’t blink or clicks. My left one works fine .
    When I turn off all my lights my left one still works fine but when I switch to the right, the front signal light works but my back tractor lights both blink like if I had my hazards on . Except the left back one dimmer than the right .
    When my right one is blinking the dash lights inside can blink with it also . Another thing I noticed when I turn on my outside lights my right signal indicator inside cab turns on with lights but won’t blink when I put switch to the right signal light

    Bad ground, bulb in one of the lights could be bad. Turn switch bad.
    Do you have led lights,yes, no?

    Truck , trailer or both?

    Plus one on the bad ground suggestion, check the white wire in the 7 way connector first.

    The tractor front turn signals are on the same circuit as the trailer turn signals, the tractor rear turn signals are a separate circuit; usually a problem that shows up on a front tractor signal light will be mirrored on the trailer.

    Turn on your lights and right turn signal. Unplug or take the bulbs out of your right turn lamps one at a time. When it starts flashing again your know it is related to that light. Unplug the trailer first to eliminate it.
