    2014 t680. Just recently happened. All blinkers work except the ones in headlight assembly. Bulbs and fuses look good. Anyone know where the harness runs to for power and ground or anything that would help figure this out. Do possibly have a ground problem as sometimes at night I see the blinkers on side of fender by headlight lightly illuminate when interior cab lights are on and when the cab lights go out it will stop, and one or two of my gauge lights will dim down sometimes. Thanks in advance.

    For a T680, usually the harness that feeds both headlights are ran up driver side inside the frame and then branch off to both sides in front of the radiator but behind the hood.
    Thanks, DJ

    The 680s in my fleet are famous for harness issues at the headlights.

    Yeah, for some reason they always forget to ziptie it to the hood so it usually just rubs through a wire or 2. Seen one melted once!

    Thanks. I quickly figured that much out but Im curious as to where it goes for power, such as the firewall or somewhere else. Where does it feed from?

    gotcha, usually it feeds up the frame rail then into the main wiring harness that then goes into the truck then to the fuse boxes, either the one on the firewall outside or inside kick panel
