Dimming tail lights...

Okay, not sure what this is, but my fuses are good, and I have'nt seen any exposures in the wiring.

Dad says my left tail light dims when I turn on the left signal, and when I go in reverse...

what could this be? What regulates the electricity for the lights?

check your rear lights grounds .. sounds like a bad ground to me .

Check to see if the bulb is in the right way aswell. I put mine in wrong and it did that.

i have this problem with my tail lights every time i pull them out, the connectors in the tail lights are bad, usally u can wiggle the plug and it'll work, but your best bet is to pull it apart clean the rust out of the connectors

Where are the grounds located for the lights?

Mike, are you talking about the connector that connects to the tail lights connector?

Ground wires come off the wire harness in the rear for your taillights .. They are bolted to your frame rail .. i believe theres 1 sense the wire harness is a continous strand across the back end - you should see it --


its a 10mm bolt holding it in place - take it out and take a wire brush and clean the surface area that it bolts to and clean the connector - as well and re bolt it in . it should do the trick.
