Pretty much unmolested - radio delete & a heater.
The wires seem to be in good condition, but the turn signals do not work. In fact if I pull down to signal left the right tail light comes on & vice versa.
Anyway - I was wondering how hard it would be to just put in a new harness all together. They don't cost that much & I could probably avoid future problems if I just started from scratch.

Your power is traveling through the left turn signal light filament. Finding no ground there is travels through the tail light filament of the same bulb and across to the right bulb. It still can't find a ground there but it does faintly light the bulb as it travels through both filaments there.
Make sure the light housings are grounded to the bed, the bed is grounded to the frame, the frame is grounded to the battery.
To answer your question about installing a harness, it's a fairly simple job on a truck like yours. But lights will still have to be grounded to work right. | | |
