View Full Version : Turn signal question

I have LED turn signals, I have the proper low load part in the fuse block and my problem is that the right turn signal is a "bright....dim...bright...dim" when it is blinking. It does not go completely out between blinks.

The LEFT, however, acts properly. Weird.... I am thinking maybe a ground wire is loose or disconnected? I replaced the signal part in the fuse block but it did not change anything...

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for thinking those thoughts....

No good ideas but I would think a bad ground would keep it from going full bright. Not from going completely out. But who knows, a bad ground can do some weird stuff.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards that first. Trouble is, it is SUCH a pain getting under the dash...

Thanks for your thoughts on it. I do appreciate it - my wife just says "now you have to take it somewhere to get it fixed..."

I'm thinking the ground for the turn indicator is near the light, like the bumper or very close. Not sure on a 65 but they didn't run anymore wires than they had too. Frame ground is used all over as opposed to running a separate ground wire.

I could be wrong,but is the brake switch on the brake pedal engaged? I only say that because I was having similar problem a few months back when I was rewiring my 64.
