been a while since i posted. well, ive been working on my wiring lately. i have a problem that stumps me and thought some one might have some insight on this. the problem is when i pull my parking lights on, the turn siginal lights up on the drivers side for a few seconds along with the front light and then flashes abruptly first then slow down to the normal parking light position then will flash on occasion or stay bright for a few seconds. when this is going on, the rear light is not flashing or shows any problems just the front dr side. i disconnected the rear harness same thing happens. i disconnect the flashers and still the same thing . i disconnect the steering column same thing happens. also the dash plug so i pulled the harness out and traced all wires for a short and fixed some bad connections reinstall and the same thing is going on. im out of ideas. any body have anything or suggestions i can start following.
Recheck all of your grounds connections. Especially the one for the instrument panel (upper center bezel screw for '67)
2012 Mustang Boss 302 #1918, Competition Orange. FGF replacement 2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered. 2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it) Old projects, gone but not forgotten: 1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it. 1980 Turbo Trans Am 1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto 1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed 1983 F-150 4x4, built 302 1994 Chevy K2500 HD 4x4, 454 TBI
Seriously. I'v resolved 3 0r 4 issues by "repairing" grounding points. The bezel ground mentioned above is a "strap" that grounds to the dash when the instrument panel is installed.

I'm a hobbyist. Not a professional. Don't be hatin'!
thanks ill will definately check the bulbs and the grounds through out the car. i was thinking that something is powering up and discharging when i pull the switch. is there anything like that on the ride like the alternator diode that could do that?
