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 |

I swaped out my trun signal relay and they light up independently.
The "new" relay I put in had 4 prongs to plug in, the one I pulled out had three. What is the difference? |
