I have a 96 1500, one of the first major things I have to fix is the signal switches. I bought a brand new turn signal switch but that didn’t work, we’re not sure what else could it be. Could I get some help?

Emergency lights sort of work, just that the driver side tail light isn’t functioning. We figured that the circuit board is busted so I’m getting a new piece for it. Brake lights work, headlights work fine but it’s when I turn on the turn signals that nothing is responding

So you have installed the new multi switch and still nothing on the turn signals!? If so, it sounds like a ground issue somewhere. There are only three wires to a tail light.. one is hot, one is ground and one makes it blink thru that multi switch.

Try this location for the turn signal flasher on your 96. I’m sure it’s close to there.., If not Google or youtube it’s location. Maybe this flasher is your problem! Probably a cheap part. Let me know if that’s it.

If ya got brake lights on both sides, focus on turn signal circuit. With both brake lights functional, bulbs and rear grounds are good. Get out your test light and start checking. Got the circuit diagram?
What was the problem before you started swapping parts?

We tried that earlier and couldn’t find it. Between six of us guys figuring out, we just decided to take it to an auto shop for the electrical issues.
