when i turn on my right turn signal, after a few seconds the headlights begin flashing with the signal. it does not do this when the left signal is on. all the other lights work great.

i have two ground straps from the engine to the body and two ground straps from the body to the frame. if anyone has any suggestions, i would love to hear them.

thanks in advance.

I don't know about your year, but my '72 has a ground wire for each headlight that is screwed into the core support. Might check that. Grounds and wierd electrical bugs drive me crazy. Sometimes the fix is nonsensical (to me anyway).

Need to remove, clean and re-attach all radiator support ground wires for the headlights and turn signals.

I agree with steve, All of this blinking and odd stuff. The item in function is ---"LOOKING" for a ground. I believe it will lite up any filiment it goes through looking for a ground. P.S.--If you do not get this fixed--You are grounded!!!!!! Good luck Bob ACES 2825
