Do the lights turn off if you remove hood fuse 40 or dash fuse 19?

pulled hood fuse 40 (which is 40a says light) and lights still on, also pulled dash fuse 19 (which is 10a fuse) and lights still on, what to do now? does the emergency flasher switch need to be plugged in for turn signals to work? also my center tail lights dont work at all

You have nightmare electrical problems. Pull the other hood fuses one at a time to see whether the lights turn off. If so, which hood fuse turns the lights off?

yes i know, the guy before me must have done more then just move wires around. i will start pulling fuses one at a time and i will keep u posted. also if u know where those emergency flasher wires start that would be a great help.... is there any way to check to see if my center tail lights have power using a test light?

Hazard lights switch gets voltage from 10A hood fuse 43 on a Wht/Grn wire.

Turn signal lights get voltage via the hazard switch from 10A fuse 15 on a Yel wire .

Touch one probe to the power wire and the other probe to a metal part of the frame. Could also be a bad ground or blown bulb.

i do have a alarm that i wont be using, maybe some of those wires are connected to my corners and tail lights so they flash when alarm goes off. maybe i should remove that completely because that is what is causing them to be wired hot

ok took alarm out and found i had hazard light plug, plugged into the back of fuse panel which caused my corners and tail lights to be wired hot. now everything is off when i have battery hoked up and turn signals work. now i still have no power to my center tail lights im checking wires with test light now. what else can i do to figure out my tail light issue? there is one plug that isnt plugged in into the back of my dash fuse box, is that what could be causing my issue with center tail lights?

there is a ground where the spare tire is, right next to that coming out of the same harness there is a gray plug with four wires coming out of it (two grn,one red,one blk) and it isnt plugged in there is just the female plug no male. that might be the problem. do u know where the male plug is? none of those wires should be tucked
