Pick-up's flashers are acting funny

[CN Spots]

My driver side turn front signals started flashing real fast and my brake light and rear turn signal quit working on the same side too, the tail light is ok. I replaced the bulbs and the flasher under the dash but with no effect. The right side is fine. Smokey's gonna bust me soon if'n I can't resolve this... thoughts?

1992 Chevy 1500

My guess would be a bad connection, my Ford P100 is always getting water in the back lights and the conections get corroded. Take everything apart and clean them up.

My bet is on a faulty ground.

might be a bad board the bulbs plug into. you can get them at napa or oreillys

My bet is a bad bulb on the other side.

I had a similar problem with my 1991 Sonoma and it turned out to be a bad/blown fuse.

Good Luck.

Spots the common problem with those trucks was the ckt board that the rear lights plug into going bad. Like jimr said you can get them at Napa and other parts houses.

It was indded the board that was bad. 35 bucks and ten minutes later all is groove. NAPA guy sez he sells about four of these things a week. Way to go GM:devil:.

Once again, thanks guys.

Where is the board located? Just wondering in case my chevy does it...
I already had to replace the board for the windshield wipers..

take the tail light assy. out and it is held in with 2 1/4" screws what the wire plugs into.
