Part 2 in the series and may be related to part 1...
With engine and ignition off. Clicking the turn signal lever sets off the headlight motors going up and down repeatedly....but doesn't turn on any lights. Car looks possessed. Clicking back the lever or turning on the ignition stops it all. |

I would guess that you are right, related to part one.

Problem still exists...even with solution to part one:
:Well i checked around...behind the front trunk pull above the fuse box was a bundle of brown wires (about 11) are twisted together. They weren't even grounded. Sheeesh! So I put clips on them and grounded them to the frame behind the speaker cover. Now the tach, oil pressure light and gen light work. Yahoo. But... the gen light goes on now with the parking lights...not the headlights. Did I miss a ground or did i ground something I shouldn't have. The voltmeter goes down a volt or two when this happens. Also Part Two problem isn't fixed with this. " Very puzzling... |
