Electrical problem
1993 Ford Ranger Two Wheel Drive Automatic

When I try to switch my running lights on, they fail to come on, and my ABS light starts flashing. My headlights will come on if I pull the switch all the way out, but still no running lights, and the ABS is already flashing. The flash count is 16, which I understand to mean all is well ?

I`ve changed the light switch. All my bulbs are good.

If I play with the swith a bit and hang it between running light and headlight, both will come on, but my ammeter will do a sporadic little jig from time to time.

What have I got wrong here ?

check the harness going to the brake lights for open or shorted ground
