Marker lights were not required in all states for trucks that did not run interstate. It is common for all kinds of jerry rigging to be done on older trucks. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 | Sounds like somebody wired it to the rheostat,instead of the Aux. terminal. Should be a super easy fix. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 48 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 48 | Is there a spot in the fuse box where they would be hooked to the rheostat or somewhere else?

The Cab light wire just needs to be moved off of the dash light terminal and on to the running light terminal to fix it...as Willy said easy! Mike B
