Don't know if it is the issue, but there is a diode on the back of the flashers that is known to go bad. You can remove it or replace it.

warthog if uare talking about the turn and hazard flashers i didnt see one when i replaced them but i could have missed it


ok heres the story as i wrote above front turn signals under the headlights are faintly blinking along with my headlights not noticeable unless u are right on them with that being said the rest of the lights all work as long as no headlights as stated above

I had the same exact problem on my 1008 -lights in front flashing so dimly that you couldn't see them and if you turned something else on well... It turned out to be a partial ground problem . On the drivers side above the water bottle there was a ground wire that wasn't connected - that helped a little. I then took everything apart and tested with a test light. I found a bad bulb with a broken filament crossing over both sides that was stopping the flash with headlights on. All of the bulbs were corroded but the rear lights were working fine the whole time so it was becoming frustrating. I cleaned all the bulb sockets positive and negative, changed all the bulbs-even side markers and now everything works great. Don't know if this helps but this is what worked for me!

i have looked through all the tms and havent found a thing pertaining to my problem even the trouble shoot section wasnt any help if some one could tell me where all the ground points are other than the one at the battery on the rad support and the over fill tank i would be greatful and i might be looking for a new headlight harness if i dont figure this out its driving me nuts sad thing is its probably something simple with my luck

 

[SouthernSteel]

ok wheres the diode located for the turn signal and hazard flashers i keep hearing about the flashers themselves are brand new i didnt see any diode am i missing something

They are on the backside of the fusebox, attached to the terminals that the flashers plug into.

You may have to use a small mirror or disasemble the fusebox.

the main ground for inside the cab is right above the e-brake. you can see it , take it loose and check it. dim light at the corners is usually a ground problem . you should be able to check these with a test light. probe the hot and find a ground with the other end.

fuel gage that reads past full is also usually a ground problem at the frame. thanks. mark
