    Tail light issues
    I have a 1989 dodge ram 150 ls. My left rear turn signal doesn't flash bright when on, also the reverse lights start flashing like they are my hazards. I have changed the bulbs out already. My right turn signal doesn't do this when on.

    The problem may be in the lamp socket. Sometimes the tabs inside the sockets bend or break, and no longer make proper connection on the bulb's base. There could also be poor connections in the harness. Inspect the ground connections to make certain they aren't loose or corroded. I hope this helps.

    Hey captain, after chasing wires in the harness, I found that it was a ground problem(broken solder splice). Thanks for the tip! mikem527
