Message:
I recently picked up an 88 Dakota Long bed v6.It sat for 4 years and now im working to get it road worthy. It has no brakelights or turnsignals. The flashers are good. When the 4 way flashers are applied,only the front lights flash. And when you use the turn signal lever no lights flash,front or rear .All fuses are good and I replaced all bulbs with new ,correct ones.No brake lights either. I have running lights all the way around. Is there a relay I need to look at? Where should I start? Any help is certainly appreciated.

Sounds like connection problem
probably close to back of truck.
Check joining connections in harness up under
just in front of rear bumper
also check any chassis ( ground connection )
should be in same area.

The ' running lights ' at rear, are possibly getting their
ground return thru the 4 way signal lines
instead of proper ground/chassis return..

get yourself a test light and probe the wires,
a chilton or hayes manaul with the wiring diagrams can be helpful[it will give you the color codes of wires]

pick one thing and work your way threw that,take your time and don,t make it harder then what it is,wiring is quite easy
