I just bought a 89 chevy truck yesterday and when I got it home the blinkers stopped working and now whenever I hit the brakes both blinker lights in the cab stay on until I let off the brakes and my reverse lights don't work. Can somebody help me with this?
Check the fuses see if their properly fused?
try changing the flasher and start checking ground wires for both turn signals and brake lights.Sounds like some one has the light wired wrong.
i don't think it is anything thing to do with the fuses because the only thing a fuse can do is blow out and that would make your lights stop working, so in the case of the reverse lights ,that could be the problem, but the signal lights are another story because if they are doing what your saying, then someone has crossed the wires and hooked up the signal light wires to your beak lights and usually when people do that ,they have spliced the wire to your break lights and hooked the signal wires into the break light wire, thinking the signals will work because it will have power going to them , but that dosent do anything but mess them up big time , and it does exactly what yours is doing, i would run a check through your system , (not hard at all) and see where your wires are going when they branch off from your bulb on the signal because you will see the problem when you trace the wire, it will probably be connected to another wire with will be the break light wire and you'll need to cut it back off and hook the signal wire back up to your fuse box and put a fuse in, so they will work, do the same check on your break light wire and make sure its all ok, good luck if you need me to explain a little better just let me know.
