Hey guys, i just bought a nice looking 84 K10.

Drove it home and found out my right turn signal or brake dont work! I replaced the bulb. the forth works like it should. It's getting 0 volts when it should be getting 12, so i know theres a break somewhere. What would be the best way to figure this one out?

I know one wire is ground, one goes to the parking lights, and one goes to the brake/turn signal. Where should i look first?

Well this morning i fixed the wire, crimped and heat shrinked it. The turn signal did work, so i just assumed the brake light would work.

Went out to check it just now and it's not working at all. I'll make extra sure the wires is fixed tomorrow.

Alright, they work now.

I do have another issue..

With my headlights or parking lights on, my turn signals wont work, both front and back. I DID PUT LED'S IN THE REAR. But they have resistors built in and all that good stuff. What could be the issue?
