I too am having trouble with my tailight. Taillight itself works but turn signal and brake light doesnt. I have replaced the bulbs multiple times and have even replaced the circuit board. When I hit the lever it flashes quick and front turn works. I am at a loss. Any help?

I did some searches and didn't find any specifics on this question.

In my 93 I want to swap out my non-tach instrument cluster for one with a tach. Based on the service manual it seems the connectors are the same, and my dash has a connection for the tach that my non-tach panel lacks. If I found a 93 panel with tach would it drop in and work or is there more I need to do?

So I traded my '90 for a '97 2dr 2wd. It has some issues but nothing major. It runs great and all, but I have a question for you guys. It is an LS with full power. I did not get clickers with it but I was curious if i bought one from Amazon would I be able to program it and does it have the receiver? Is there a way to confirm before I buy the clicker?

You can check the RPO sticker in the glovebox and see if it has the code for keyless entry. Can't remember what it is right now, but someone here probably knows.

Alternatively if you want to know right now, throw the VIN number into CompNine.com and pay them $5. They'll give you a detailed breakdown of all the options on the truck by RPO codes.

Where is a constant hot wire that I could tap into for my rock lights? Or is there a spot in the fuse box on the side of the dash that I could use? Vehicle is a 1999 K1500 Suburban.

The IGN fuse would be, a bunch of other ones probably are also.
