I have a 94 Silverado with a 5.7 l V8 I just developed a new problem when I put my left turn signal on my wipers go on my high beam indicator light lights up. I check the front light cables for shorts or wear but could not find any. The right turn signal works fine. I also noticed that my head lights are not working either. When I turn them on the the wipers start to go and the left turn indicator lights and also the high bean indicator lights too. Never had a problem with the electrical before this is a first. Just looking for places to start. I checked the fuses and everthing looks good. One other thing I have owned the truck for 4 years and the hazard lights have never really worked correctly. When I turn them on they blink extremely slow about one flash a minute. Any ideas?

the high /low beam, turn signal, and wiper switch is all one assembly. replace that, sounds like something is broken inside. you will have to remove the steering wheel from the column.
the hazzard lights have a seperate flasher box just like the turn signal flasher up under the dash in the fuse panel that needs replaced.

It turned out to be a bad ground causing the problems. I did try plugging in a new multifunction turn signal switch as well as disconnecting and reconnecting the high beam and wiper connections. I removed the auxilary battery tray and found the loose connection under it. Case Solved

I have the same problem if you remember what ground you fixed I would really like to know.

Hi Dylan,

I'm sorry that was a long time ago. I believe it was a ground for the head lights. As best I can remember it was under the Aux battery tray. That truck had a plow so I had put a second battery in it. That truck is long gone now. The frame rotted between the cab and the bed.

Regards,
Brian

okay thanks I also have a 2nd battery and took it all out yesterday and I ground one ground but it wasent under the tray. Their was so wires under the tray. I think it’s time for a mechanic to take a look. Thanks again

One other thing. I use to have trouble with the ground on my plow lights. I had a separate independent ground that went to the plow frame if that fell off or became corroded the same issue would happen. Just a though.
