you have a bleed from another circuit, bad ground etc somewhere. will drain battery maybe so yep, need to find it

It sound's like a peck and hunt type of thing. Wonder if it is bleeding through a switch some where. Sorry to say get one of those voltage testers with the light in it. I don't know if the dimmer switch on the dash could bleed over or not. Maybe some thing bleeding back on the ground.

Had the same problem in my old fairlane. Didnt have the patience to go through electrical gremlins, so I just pulled the globes.

 

[oscar holland]

Wire from switch on passanger side contacted earth a little put some isolation arround it now it’s fine
But what a hasle
To find

 

[quikbird]

electrical is always a pain to find

 

[Russ69Runner]

You bet it can drive a man crazy to locate something like that. But better than paying someone else's and they muck it up for you. Russ.

Try rotating dash dimmer do lights flicker go out?

 

[Ernie]

Try rotating dimmer lights flicker or go out?

 

[oscar holland]

No dimmer works
Ok

 

[Russ69Runner]

Thought you had that part fixed Oscar. Still having problem or not.

 

[oscar holland]

New electric problem
Blinkers where working fine flash lights as well
Now as soon as inhit the hazzard
Light fuse pops normal blinkers don’t work at all anyone a idea where to look?

 

[oscar holland]

Did not change a thing

 

[Ernie]

Ok what are working on?
Do you have a DVOM?
“. Test light?
“. Wiring diagram?
What would you say is knowledge of electronic?
Suspect ground fault

 

[oscar holland]

Ok what i did nonwas disconect the switch at the steering wheel for directions emergency flasher works fine (front) think there is a problem in the switch

 

[oscar holland]

Yes i have a wiring diagram
Knowledge of electric systems with me is
Open for improvement
Is ground also the problem with poping fuses?

lthnx

 

[Ernie]

Then turn signal switch is suspect and likely source of ground fault. Wire in column may have cracked or chafed

 

[Russ69Runner]

Sound like a direct short some where.

 

[oscar holland]

Russ you are wright! Drilled the wires to the rear lighting and yes that makes the sparkle......

 

[Russ69Runner]

Oscar you did what. How did that happen buddy. You hit the wire's while drilling a hole is that rite. Man always something hey. Glad you found the problem. Hope it is a quick fix.
