OK guys I need some help. This is stressing me so I figured I'd ask for some advice here.

**All of the lights in question have worked in the past and I have done nothing new to anything on my truck so I'm kinda stumped.**

This issue is only with the lights in the bumper, all lights on the truck itself are working fine.

What I'm seeing is the pass side lights are working correctly, both parking and blinker.

The driver side blinker light(white) is on when the parking lights are on and no parking light (yellow) is on. When the blinker is on the white one blinks opposite of all of the other blinkers (other side of bumper and factory blinkers).

If I unplug the Pass side light assembly and hook it up to the same wires on the Driver side, all works as should on the driver side. I did this to test if a bad wire or short was the issue. This tells me, its not the wiring.

I plugged the driver side assembly into the passenger side wiring and the lights work as they should. This tells me it not a bad bulb or bad wire/plug within the light assembly.

I then only plugged in the driver side lights with the driver side assembly and it worked as should.

The issues seems to occur if both lights are plugged in at the same time.

Is this a reistance/BCM issue? If I go LED, do I need a resistor or anything to make them work? Does anyone know if both the parking light and blinker are both 1156 type bulbs? To me they look like it but I have yet to find any real proof that they are indeed a 1156 bulb.

Stressed and needing help...........

Search for IsaacF's thread on this. I believe he had the same issue when he installed his ARB bumper on his 2009. His never worked right up front though, he started out with LED's.

Wish I could help, but I have no idea. Have you called Kurt, or ARB support? I have a few email addresses that could get you some quick attention; if you'd like.

Sami I thought I'd start here first so no I have not tried Kurt or ARB. I would think ARB might be a better start as I dunno how familiar Kurt will be with Nissans. If you have a good number or email address handy, shoot me a PM. If not I'll find one on the website later when I have time.

Just in case anyone else sees this issue, here is what fixexd it for me. After talking with Marc at ARB, he thought there was a grounding issue in the lights so I checked the splicers that I used to tap into the factory harness.

The factory ground wire on the driver side literly fell apart when I took the wire splice off. I soldered it all back together (ARB plug ground as well) and it fixed the issue.

Right on, glad Marc could help you out.
