Rear Lights Issue

ACFarmer · Mar 6, 2013

I just bought a 96 F-350 with a flat bed. Trying to get it on the road. Only thing left is tail lights. I have all the running lighs on the bed working, and I have brake lights and left turn signals. But I have no right turn signal or tail lights. Anybody know what color wires run the tail and right turn signal lights going to the back? Theres a plug with 5 wires going into it that I believe is what runs everything. I have right signal on the front too, so its somewhere out back that I have a problem. Any ideas guys?

This is a link to a different site, but it has wiring diagrams for a bunch of the electrical systems. The link should take you to the turn signal diagrams, but on the left you can navigate to wherever. The schematic with color codes should help you out.

I dont believe they are the same between regular trucks and cab and chassis are they?

The end pigtails would be different, but the main harness should be the same.

I had the same type of problem with my 97 on the flatbed. I got out the test light and started working my way forward. PO used scotch locks where the factory harness met the flatbed harness and they went bad from the dust and dirt.
