My 1989 gmc sierra truck
I had a similar problem with mine. Turned out to be a bad ground connection in the tail ight assembly. There are steel tabs that spring out and contact the steel stamped out frame in the plastic around the bulb sockets. They were making a bad or no connection and were rusted. Bad design :( Anyway I used a very small wire wheel and removed the corrosion and soldered the connections. No more problems!

Misfire on all cyl. Sometimes more sometimes less. all over the place
6 or 8 cyl ? Were you driving down the road when it happened ?Usually the ignition module is inside the dist and that fires the coil. The coil is either in the cap or mounted on the intake manifold.If the truck has over 100,000 miles the timing chain could be off. A timing light would tell you.

Clogged Gas FilterWorn out & Blocked Exhaust ConverterBad Ground at Fuel PumpThe different gas gauge readings would indicate a groundissue with the sending unit in the fuel tank & possibly thefuel pump shares the same ground or it is worn out.I would check fuel pressure with a gauge & the fuel may bethere, but not enough volumeA fuel pump can last 4 years or 18 years
Can not get my tail lights to work onk 1989 gmc truc
The front park lights work correct? If the front park lights work than there is not a problem with the light switch since the brown wire from the switch supplies power to the front park lights, front side markers, and the rear taillights. There should be twelve volts on the brown wire from the headlight switch with the connector plugged in and the park lights turned on. If this is true that there is a problem with the wiring to the back of the vehicle. A thorough inspection of the harness should reveal the problem.
The dim break and blinkers support the above. High resistance also know as corrosion, in the wires or connections would cause this problem. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at
