Electrical help blinkers and tail lights

A few days ago I noticed that my blink was only flashing part of the time. Now when I use my blinkers the front bulbs light up but very dim. While checking my blinker problem I noticed my tail lights, rear blinker, reverse light, and tag light all stop working when my blinkers don't work properly. Sometimes though my blinkers work right and so do my tail lights but then it will randomly stop. I have checked my ground and have power coming into light sockets yet my bulbs work randomly. Any Ideas??

Update: I got my blinkers to work when my head lights are off, but my entire rear light assembly flashes. When my headlights are on none of my rear lights work at all. Any help would be great.

First check the ground(s) at the taillights assembly.

Your
*UPDATE* problem is consistent with an open ground.

Then check the taillights connector located at the left rear corner of the body.


Happy Racing!

I have checked my grounds on my rear tail lights and have a good connection. Any other place I should check?

Your battery ground to frame, your head light grounds, your engine ground to firewall, and any other ground you find. Take them apart sand all surfaces put them back together tightly and paint them.
