ANSWER: First off Greg you say your rear turnsignals light but won't function as marker lights. If the lights light then isn't that your marker lights do you possably mean that they won't blink that they just stay on solid when you push on the turnsignal button on that side?

QUESTION: I think I mite have confused you the lights blink as turns but wont stay lit as markers like the front one do and they always have been turn/marker hope this clarifies my problem


Answer
Its odd that they both quit at the same time. You're sure its simply not that the bulbs are bad I'm guessing. Must have a place in the wiring where they both connect together into the main harness and at this point theres a problem. Best you can do is try a continuity meter to check for a broken wire or loose connection.
