hey guys, just wondering if you can help diagnose this problem i'm having.

up until a few days ago, all my turn signals worked fine, and now the passenger headlight (Right side) is VERY dim, and the maker light on that same side is also flashing now. ( :smt017 )

i've looked at the wiring harness and there is no splicing or other changes that are apparent. looks unmolested.

what can i look at, or rather, what wire should i begin looking AT?

thanks guys!

That says ground issue to me. Check where those two items are grounded.

Have you verified theres no oxidation on your contact points? My horn wouldn't work at all, then I popped the wires off, scrubbed the contact points down with a wire brush, put wires back on and it kinda puttered in and out, repeated process, now my mikado two tone horn works Great! Oxidation seems to be a real issue with my truck's electrical connections

yup. that was it. turns out the guy who had it before me tried to fix it and used a segmented piece of wire that had more butt connectors than wire.

fixed it, and now the light is nice and bright. thanks guys! :smt023
