72 with turn signal problem

When I turn my head lights on my turn signals will barley turn on. During the day with lights off they work fine . Any ideas-maybe headlight switch?

Check your headlamp grounds. There are seperate points for the right and left headlamps.

Re: 72 with turn signal problem

better than checking grounds is to disconnect and clean them up to bright shiney metal to metal contact when u reinstall them

Re: 72 with turn signal problem

I had just bought the truck after it had been sitting a year or better. The first thing was there was no ground from the firewall to the engine or battery to fender. After adding those it started working better. I will check the headlight grounds today.

Thanks, Wes
