I found and cleaned the brake/tail/turn signal and parking light ground located on the driver's side inner steel fender..
It didn't help any, I'm still having the same problems..
I cleaned a ground located on the apron above the radiator, still no difference..
I cleaned a ground on the passenger side inner steel fender, still no difference..
I cleaned the battery posts and terminals, still no difference..
The only ground that I haven't cleaned, yet, that I know of, is on the end of the big ground wire cable that's located and bolted near the starter..
But, the starter is working good.. So, I'm assuming the stater's ground wire cable should be OK, shouldn't it.. Or, should I clean it, anyway..
When I unplugged the male/female connector that's near the rear bumper for the back tail/brake/turn signal lights..
All the symptoms were the same, as before, except there was no power going to the rear tail lights/brake lights/turn signal lights when this connector was unplugged..
After I plugged this connector back in by the rear bumper..
I unplugged the front connector that's located on the driver's side inner fender well, thats for the rear tail lights/brake lights/turn signals and parking lights..
I didn't have any symptoms of any problems happening, as before..
However, I didn't have any power going to the rear tail lights/brake lights/turn signals and parking lights, either, when this connector was unplugged..
So, do you think the problem is being caused somewhere in the length of wires that goes between these two connectors, that goes from the driver's side inner fender well back to the other connector that's near the rear bumper..
And, if so, is that correct length of wiring harness with the connector ends on it, still available to buy at an automotive parts store and what would it cost, and what would this particular wiring harness be called..
Or, what would the best way to find the bad wire in mine be to repair it, if none of the wires look obviously damaged from the outside for finding the bad wire to repair, if a new harness, of this type, is not currently available, anymore..
After I sprayed some WD/40 on the sealed ends of the 5 wire connectors, it soaked in to where the wires go into the turn signals 5 wire connectors, that's on the driver's side fender well..
It started doing it, again, one of the problems has returned.. Maybe some corrosion loosened up by spraying WD/40 on the end of the connector, is crossing over to some of the 5 wire's inside contacts, as I noticed, again, that if I put on the right side blinker, without the key in the ignition, and press the brake pedal..
The right front, passenger's side, turn signal light and the right side turn signal indicator light on the dash, will light up and the turn signal flasher will start clicking, but the right front turn signal doesn't flash, while the brake pedal is being depressed and both the rear brake lights will stay on..
While the turn signal flasher is clicking, as explained.. When I turn the heater blower motor's switch on, without the key on.. Each time the turn signal flasher clicks, the heater blower motor will start up on each click the flasher makes and then stop between each click..
It does this, now, as explained, even when this 5 wire connector isn't plugged in..
When I plug this 5 wire connector together, on the driver's side, fender well, it continues to do it..
When I turn the ignition switch on, when the right side turn signal switch is on, both the rear turn signals continue to flash, until I put on the brakes..
Then both rear turn signals will stop flashing, and there will be just brake lights, as long as I'm holding the brake pedal down, but I don't have a right side rear turn signal light that will flash, either..
Should I just cut this 5 wire turn signal connector out of the turn signal wiring harness, and splice it together, and hope it solves my problems..
Are there 5 wire universal splice connectors available for doing this..
Does anyone have a diagram of all the wires going the to turn signal switch, to make sure they are all going to the correct terminals in the plug in connectors..
I'm almost tempted to buy a new after market turn signal switch on ebay, that I seen for less than $45.00, for seeing if that will solve my problem..
But, remembering when I tried putting my good working turn signal switch from my 89 Ranger into my 90 Ranger, it didn't solve my rear turn signal problem..
So, I'm still kind of doubtful that buying a new after market turn signal switch from ebay would solve my problem, either.. As maybe, it would be just wishful thinking to do so, and a waste of money..
What would you do if you were in this situation..
