A few months back I posted a message stating that I had problems with:
1.I had no brake lights or turn signals in the rear.
2.My battery kept draining for unknown reasons.
Here's an update. After changing out my old truck bed for a better looking one I replaced ALL of my rear light sockets ie, (reverse and turnsignal/brake). I replaced most of my fuses in the fuse panel, if in doubt I replaced it and made sure all of the grounds were clean. Oh yeah I replaced all of my bulbs, make sure you put your bulbs in right. I found out that one fillament is brighter than the other and works for the turn signal. After spending a little money replacing stuff I now have lights and turn signals. I didn't have to replace my turn signal switch like I originally thought needed to be done and I learned a lot about circuits and how they work.
My battery problem is no longer a problem. I bought a new battery after I fixed my wiring problem and now she cranks every time.
I don't know if this will help anybody but maybe it will.
