I need to know if anyone can help me figure out this problem I am having with one of my work trucks.
First off its a 2005 chevy 2500 express van. The problem is that I have no rear turn signals or brake lights. The center or third brake light still works. The turnsignal indicator on the dash flashes rapidly like if a bulb was out, but the tails still light up when the headlights are on. Anyone have any ideas, if you need more info just ask. Thanks everyone.

have you checked the bulb or the fuse ? that is where i would start
 
we have to chevys at my job and they have the worst electrical systems ever ...... the 03 u have to smash the dash board cause all ur gauges and radio wil stop if u haver the heat on and the other the blinkers do the same thing when u put the head lights on but work fine if they r off lol
 
Well I changed the bulbs and a couple fuses with no luck. I may check the wires running back to the lights tomorrow unless someone else has an idea.
 
i think the turn signal and brake use common circuit/fillament, the tails use the other. have you removed and checked the bulbs? checked the circuit with a multimeter?

I will definatly try that tomorrow its getting a little to cold out there tonight.
 


Well I got it fixed today. It turned out to be a spliced wire that was grounding out against the body. Must of had a piece of pipe jam against it and cut it, but all is well. Thanks for all your suggestions
