Default Faulty tail lights 93 f150

I recently bought a 93 f150 and it is having issues with the tail lights. Break lights are super dim, changed bulb and didn't change anything. Same problem with blinkers and reverse lights. Tag light and park lights do not work. Rear right blinker will not blink but if I turn the the left blinker all the lights in the back will blink INCLUDING my tag light.

easiest is to get started with a Digital multimeter...you should have a solid 12vDC at the pin of the socket, anything else is trouble.

Super dim, usually indicates a bad ground...make sure you clean up and reattach those ground straps along the chassis.

If there are any add on trailer lights, hitch lights, adapters and so on - get rid of them and make sure things are plugged in cleanly and with the correct voltages.

Check fuses..up front and voltages there - 12vDC under the hood?

There is a ground at the very back on the driver's side right beside the frame where the wires come out from beside the gas tank, if you follow that.
And as kd said, unhook any spliced in trailer wiring.
