All exterior lights work properly, but both the dash lights (left and right turn signal) go on when I use my turn signal. I am expecting the left arrow to flash for a left turn and the right arrow for a right turn, but both arrows flash all the time. the car is a 1970. I think I cleaned all the ground points.
Is this a common problem? What is the fix? thanks -Rob |

If I recall, this may be the way it operates; both turn signal lights in the tach flash no matter what, left or right. I think sometime it change either from both flashing (as someone with an early car stated above) to individual direction flashing or the other way around, individual direction to both flashing.

Sort of. Early cars should have the indicator lights operate separately. Later cars only have one bulb. And then there's the cars in-between that still have both bulbs but they always flash together. Confused? Welcome to the club ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) On a '70, they should work individually. Try this, when blinking, rev up the engine above 2k rpm or so and see if the lights blink individually then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Andy |
