No signal lights even after replacing lights and switch.

I picked up a new deuce before christmas. and from the day I picked her up i've only been able to get signal lights a few times but only on one side. the first time was right after I brought her home and was flipping the switch up and down pretty fast. that time I got them on the right side a few times. the secont time was after I put a working assembly off another truck on the left side then I had a signal on that side but still not on the other. so I replaced the other one with a working light off another truck. and after I did that I no longer have signals on the other side or that one. i've also replaced the switch with to one off the truck the lights came off of. I'm pretty sure it's working because when I hit the breaks I can flip it and the break light on that side will go off. and they all worked fine on the truck they came off of. so any help would great i've done all I know to on it.

My best suggestion is to disconnect and clean all of your grounds first. I had to do that to mine as well.

Ok I'll try that tomorrow,does one of the TM's tell where all of them are?

Yep, ground connections.

And it gets even worse on grounding issues if you go to LEDs. Much worse...

Assume nothing, disconnect all your grounds, wire brush them, grease then down with grounding conductive grease to prevent rust, and reattach.

Most of them are inside the light buckets, or on the back of them. Corrosion is not your friend. Die-electric grease is. Even some axle grease to stop the corrosion is fine. That's what I use on all battery terminals anymore.

ok thanks the only other question I have is what do I do to get to the grounds do I take the light covers off or take the light off the mount?
