Not trying to be a smart ass, honest, but you didn't mention checking the bulb itself, could be blown??? Don't the tail/brake lights work off of one of the fillaments and the turn signal off the other??? If it's not the aforementioned, I had a similar problem. Turns out my bulb ends and the sockets were corroded so they weren't getting a good connection. I ended up shoving sandpaper in the light socket the best I could and replaced the bulbs. They work now. I have recently purchased a set of stepside LED's from PICKMUP, but haven't had a chance to install them due to my truck being 2 hours away at a family members home. I'll post some pics someday of the lighting difference if I ever get around to it.
