think i've got a gremlin

so the 'lamp out' light has been coming on in my truck and for the life of me i can't figure out which bulb the truck thinks is out. i thought it was the right rear, but this morning when i started the truck it was the left turn signal that was flashing quick. i was thinking about getting led lights soon, will new taillights take care of this or is there a problem in the wiring?

are both of your flashers working on the left side? they usually only blink fast when one is burned out cus the excess power makes the blinker work faster.

Or you could try come dielectric grease on the ends of the bulbs so you know there making a good connection

I had this same problem, and pulled the taillight assemblies and applied dielectric grease to each of the bulbs and that solved the problem. I have read that the tail lamp circuit boards are prone to failure on the 03 and 04s, and you can get them pretty cheap off of Ebay, they are around $27 shipped for a pair.

my 05 did the same thing and it was the right brake light the "lamp out" light would come on till u step on the brake then it would go off for a while then it finally burned out

I had to replace my left circuit board on my 03.....

thanks for the help guys. i'll try the dielectric grease and see if that does the trick and go from there.
