Signal/Running light question

[reporter000001]

okay, so here we go again,

Im rewiring with a non guage aka lights only 77/78 harness. and a 80's? steering coloum, it has the wiper control on the signal lever, its fake chrome with a off, high and low setting as well a a window doucher as a flat forwardpushing part on a spring. No cruse.

Doing tests today and ive ran into an issue.
First i installed all the wiring and turned on the light switch to runners....nothing.

Signal left, right, it works but does not alternate the marker lights with front signals....
so i disconnected my headlight switch and jumped the heavy red to the brown (runners as book says) and all lights came on,
however, with runners on, and a signal, the lights will alternate marker, signal, marker signal, as they are surposed too, but they are using the same filiment, the large filiment,
before the re wire, a seperate filiment would stay on and another would blink.

I know the marker lights are on a dual + like an ammeter, so there is a current flow,
im thinking the inner workings of the collum are diferent, altho the wire collor combo is the same and chevy wiring diagrams say they are the same....


thoughts??
