Product Overview
Dim lamps, intermittent brake lights, a turn signal that cuts out over bumps, or melted bulb sockets can trace back to the rear lamp harness rather than the lens itself. This replacement harness provides a cleaner repair for aging OBS truck wiring that has become brittle, corroded, spliced, or heat-damaged.
It installs at the rear tail lamp area on compatible Chevrolet and GMC pickups. Verify the connector, socket count, wire routing, and lighting configuration because year range alone does not account for every fleet, chassis, or prior wiring modification.
Key Features & Performance
- Rear harness solution for brake, turn, tail, and reverse lamp circuits on matching applications
- Replaces brittle wiring, corroded contacts, damaged sockets, and unreliable splices
- Useful for collision repair, restoration, or correcting intermittent rear lighting
- Designed for the OBS C/K pickup rear lamp area
Replaces Part Numbers
- 222-5917 reference in compatible applications
Common Uses
- Repairing a tail lamp that works only when the harness is moved
- Replacing melted or corroded rear bulb sockets
- Correcting previous trailer-wiring or collision-repair splices

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a harness cause one rear light to work intermittently? A: Yes. Loose terminals, corrosion, broken conductors, poor grounds, or heat-damaged sockets can interrupt individual rear-light circuits.
Q: Does this replace the tail light lens? A: No. This listing is for the rear electrical harness; reuse or replace the lamp assemblies separately as needed.
Q: Will this repair trailer-light problems too? A: It can restore the truck-side rear lighting connection, but an added trailer converter, plug, or trailer harness must be diagnosed separately.
