Blinker and head light problems.

something else Ive seen that can cause interesting problems: make sure no one swapped a single filament bulb in place of a double filament...the single filament will short between both circuits backfeeding God knows what...My brother bought a used van that had lighting problems, and thats all it was...

BTW, on that 68- when I was a kid my cousin showed me a neat trick on our 69 gal- if you hold the brake pedal and push the emergency flasher slowly about halfway down you can play the radio with the key off...the 4 ways come on dim with the brakelights and all the accessories worked. we never blew any fuses doing this(seems like it should have), but did run moms battery down once...dont think we did that anymore after getting in trouble [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

You are deffinately getting a cross feed between the headlight and turn signal circuit.

The above answer could very well do this.

BTW: Leave the under the dash wires to somone who has been there before. Particularly if you don't have a wiring diagram, and understand the color coding..

I think this is a ground bad the turn signal will ground though the park lights tell you turn park lights on then park light feeds back and lights turn signal check ground on right front could be ground wire, bulb socket, bulb
