Hey gang. I have an issue. Drivers side tail light works but not the brake light / turn signal. I have LED's installed but with a tester I'm getting no power to the socket. I've heard of broken wires. So my question is where do I start tracking the issue and what route is suggested. This issue came to light after I first installed the load resisters and wiggling the harness "fixed" it back then.
Thanx for the help

 

Check at the connections for the resistors, did you use 3M clip connectors?

 

No sir, I used solder and heat shrink

 

The yellow wire for the lights has no power even before the resistor

 

Seems obvious to start at the socket and work back to check that harness you wiggled.
Starting from the socket enables you to identify what color the wire is to trace back.

 

The yellow wire has no connections between the BCM and the Left stop/turn bulb.

 

After untaping the wire bundle and looking inside it appears the yellow wire goes up. I see 2 yellow wires. Is this correct or does the yellow wire loop around and go down. In the mean time I'm doing the front brakes, stabilizer bar bushings and links

 

Yes, one of them loops around to the other side....one yellow wire for each tail light.

 

According to the schematics, there is only 1 yellow wire. The right side has it's own grn wire. There is no connection between the stop/turn lights and the CHMSL. The lights are not fused except via the BCM.

 

You are right Don, it was the brown wire I was thinking of...my bad.
