Wiring diagram 95 dodge ram 1500for thebrake & running lights inculding ground wires

To get a wiring diagram for your 1995 Dodge Ram 1500, you can visit a website such as AutoZone.com. Once you have the diagram, you can use it to help diagnose the issue with your brake and running lights. It sounds like the issue could be caused by a faulty ground wire or a bad connection. If the ground wire is disconnected or corroded, the lights will not work properly. Additionally, the problem could be caused by a bad connection between the bulb and the socket, or a faulty bulb. To test for a bad connection, use a multimeter to check the voltage at the socket. If the voltage is low, the connection should be resoldered or replaced.

I have a 1988 Dodge Ram 50 with a 2.6 engine and it boggs down and puts out black smoke at the exhaust pipe

mcdevito75 here, The black smoke is gas, have your local shop check out the fuel system, Sensors, Fuel Pressure, fuel injectors all these can cause your problem, look for fuel system deals at various shops to save money, Sears, Pepboys etc.
