i trying to diagnose my trucks issue..
the front driver side Turn signal is dim. flicking fast... 4x4 Light flashes.... and i got some box under the battery that clicks with the light..
pull the front bulb and she stops clicking .. but 4x4 light goes out.. even though its in 4x4 mode so light should be on

where would i even start to diagnose this?
here is a youtube video i made

so i did more testing..
i pulled out light switch
pulled out turn signal switch
pulled the cruise control clock work spring connector

and i pulled the cruise control module that stopped the clicking it was doing
and still it lite up.. so i was pulling fuses... and i goto Backup light
it killed the light so thats good.. i tried to put the turn signal switch back in.. and it still flicks the light fast and the 4x4 but doesnt come on when u turn on key..

i removed the rear bulbs that didnt work..

where would i look that the light relay mixes with the reverse light switch what not?


no wonder electrical work costs soo much

is there info on these wirings if they beside each other share the same ground somewhere else maybe in the fuse box under hood or inside truck?

You have corroded grounds somewhere ,and it is backfeeding . Searching for any path to ground. Remove and clean every ground you can locate . Redundant grounds are your friend ,make sure engine to frame to body to fire wall to core support . You can not add to many.

where would i all look? i cleaned the ones by the battery box and the one below the speed control unit that was already clean.. i did clean and added a 2nd one last year or so from the engine to the firewall... i do have a 1 gauge wire i added to the engine and frame or its transmission to frame
is there a pictures of locations of all the grounds?


as when the turn signal activates.. it makes the speed control click
i getting frustrated especially now in rain... i pulled rear bulbs etc.. and its only affecting the front driver turn signal no other lighter..

i pulled all the fuses and relays under hood it didnt slow the clicking of flasher.. i pulled all the fuses in the door panel area.. didnt help
i was trying to pull the blue flasher but the housing came off... figured maybe its bad?

here is the 2nd video i had made


so i getting frustrated where to look
do they even keep pictures of locations to look?
