Like the topic title says, the turn signals light up and 'blink' when the headlights are off, perfectly normal operation. But once the headlights are on, I can hear clicking in the dash but the turn signals do not 'blink'. I also noticed that the light in the tach never flashes and seem to remember that there was a thread about the circuit running through that lamp. Anybody have any ideas? I'm just trying to tie up some loose electrical gremlins..

I had something like that on mine, i had the signals wired up backwards. they are two filament bulbs, so if you hook the bright filament up to the lights instead of the flasher, you get dim flashes with no lights on, and then when you turn the lights on you can't tell the dim ones are still blinking.
