Hi. Just finished my 69 RR. Am trying to work out the bugs. Seems when I turn on the headlights, the right hand turn signal light comes on in the dash. All of the exterior lights work, including the turn signals. Any thoughts?

The park lite in the right front is backfeeding back through the turn signal circuit to find a ground. Check the right front socket and bulb real good as its either a bad buld or a bad ground in the right front park/turnsignal socket. Ron

haha ! exactly as Ron just said. I just went through this same crap in my '68 Coronet yesterday. Fixed a few gremlins and one problem was the r/f marker lamp was not secured to body good. Also fought like crazy to figure out why none of my instrument cluster lamps were working. Cleaned my panel dimmer switch, double checked power throughout the entire circuit, checked grounds ..... only to find out that EVERY SINGLE BULB WAS BAD !!!

Thanks much. I will check this out right away.

Guys, thanks for your help. Turns out it was the bulb. Works fine now.
