Thank you for the lengthy response. I opened up the turn signal housing and light switch housing and visibly saw the burnt cable ends and burned wire sheathing. I did replace the old burnt up PCB with a camotek system box when I fiest got the truck, also cleaned all of the grounds front to back...
Thank you for your input, wouldn't all shorts go to the nearest ground though? Not all the way back to those two components? Sorry, I'm a machinist, don't know much about electrical other than changing out a few drives, motor starters, thermal overloads, etc.
Afternoon folks,
I have all LED lights on the truck and they have been mostly fine. Recently, my right rear brake light and turn signal stopped working, but the running light functions. Didn't pursue the problem other than cleaning the ground wire. Now the left rear running light doesn't work...

Measuring bolt heads in battery box = 25 Volts
While truck is running the AC line on regulator = 15 Volts...
It's been a long hot week, thanks for taking the time to give input. I will check this out tomorrow afternoon and start running diagnostics. The whiteboard of issues continues to grow.
Evening folks,
I will try to provide more detail or pictures if needed, I've never really tinkered with cars before but loved the humvee in the military.
I recently picked up my first humvee Monday. Fired right up. It's a M1097R1 with a 3 speed, and 6.5. It has what I believe is a 200 amp...
