M1008/M1028 TAIL LIGHT AND TURN SIGNALS ISSUE

[LongIslandCUCV]

1986 CUCV M1028 Still running the 24v system keeping it original
So were do i start lol, I have no brake lights or rear turn signals. The running lights work and the front end works.
i have a list of so far i did and could use more guidance

- checked fuses ( FUSE LIGHTS UP WITH IT RUNNING OR OFF) - don't know if that's normal
-rear bulbs changed, bulbs ground cleaned, bulb wiring all intact
- new chassis harnesses installed and hardwired in to rear end. (heard to do that from a CUCV Facebook page.)
- changed turn signal handle not wiring in steering wheel
- Changed blackout switches to working ones thinking they were bad

It's under the CUCV forum now. You're good. I noticed the header changed, did say requirements for new members, now it says CUCV.

You have a voltage meter? That's a valuable tool to have. Have you downloaded the TM's for your truck? The TM's have a trouble shooting section that'll walk you step by step on how to diagnose the issue. They are really helpful. I would also use the search function and see what comes up, there may be a thread on the very same issue with a follow up to the solution. I would offer advice, but I never owned a CUCV and I'm not sure how different they are from a standard Chevy pickup or K5 blazer. If you can't find it in the TM'S, let us know, someone will know where it is and point you in the right direction.
