electrical issues
started as just the front right blinker and indicator not blinking for the blinkers (they flash for the hazzards though) and the hazard lights not working unless the left blinker is also on
and now my taillights wont come on at all, when i pull the hazard switch it activates the brake lights, all the wiring i can find seems fine and all the connectors look fine, ive replaced all the lights and fuses and ive also replaced the front right blinker socket because the wires were damaged and not connecting well, hoping that someone on here might have an idea of whats going on and point me in the right direction, until then im gona continue following the wires and checking for shorts and bad grounds. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

iv checked all the grounds i can find in the dash and the body, and still no luck.
i just took my dash apart and checked a bunch of other stuff to, all the connectors and wiring look fine, i'm gonna be taking all of the wrapping off of all the wiring in the hood to check for shorts and replace most of the wiring in there since some of it is brittle and cracked in some spots

i probed all the fusable links and they all seem to have power going through them, i do plan on replacing them soon anyways because i know they are known for issues and now there is a risk of short because they have been probed, there is a part of the wiring harness for the positive terminal on the battery that appeared to have a section of the wire replaced but as i took it apart the wire i thought was the old one doesnt appear to be what i thought it was. im thinking something was screwed up when the person who owned the truck before me rewired it, it seems to always have excessive corrosion around that wire shortly after i clean it all off
