    Rear signals are working good on truck but front signals/hazards do nothing.
    I've checked all node fuses, relay... All good. No voltage reading at all on either side on the signal wires when using a voltage reader/test light. Dash indicator works for signal and hazard.
    I looked at the chassis node pinout diagram and those front signals run on two separate wires so I'd be surprised if both wires broke at the same time but everything else is ok.
    Could be the node I guess...but trying to check everything else before I spend that kind of money.
    Anybody ever have this problem and can point me in a direction to look?

    Most common is that the harness on the hood is missing the ground (broken wire). Try taking a wire from the ground to the base of the bulb to see what happens.

    Did you check the harness from the hood back to the firewall?

    I assumed the ground was ok because the clearance lights work...just not the signal.
    Also, when I use the grounded test light and touch the signal wire...I get no reading of voltage
