When turning on the headlights[or parking lights] the interior turn-signal indicators are glowing, with a pulse to the brightness. I haven't had a second person with me to go thru a bunch of accessory use tests yet, to see what's going on everywhere else. So, any ideas?
 
Where to start? We've been thru most of the car for other gremlins, and everything was working correctly. How about the regulator on the cluster? What happens when one of those is bad?

The cluster regulator shouldn't have anything to do with the indicator arrows. It controls the gas/temp gauge mainly. At least thats how my 67 is.

When mine went bad I lost the gauges. But everything else worked. The indicator lights are connected directly to the outside blinker themselves via after fuse block/relay. (again, thats how mine is)

sounds like a bad ground. Or an exposed/ crossed wire. When I removed my old harness I found a few wires melted together which caused both my blinker indicators to come on when my highbeams were on.
 
no led bulbs anyplace?? those will do crazy sh*t...
 
No LED's. Thanks.

Thanks...I needed a starting point.
 
Probably a ground, I agree. If not, remember also that for some odd reason Mopar used the dimmer switch on the dash as a junction point of sorts for a LOT of light wiring.
Weird stuff. Been there, fixed that. :)
