Turn Signals

Turn signals work okay, but if the lights are on the arrow/indicator for the left signal in the dash lights up. What's up with that?
Please don't say I have to pull the bezel and install a ground.
Don't know how to do that.
Thanks
Paul

Check the signal/parking light assemblies up front for operation and to make sure there are screwed in tight and getting proper grounding.

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

They're held in with a couple of screws that go up into the bumper, right?
Should I clean them up a little?
Could the bumper mounts be causing this?
Thanks

Yes, yes and yes. Check the over-all condition of the sockets while your in there.

The light up turn signal indicater is supposed to let you know that you have a blinker out. But when they get this old, they don't always work as intended.
Like said before, check your lights. If they work properly, pull the bulb out, and (with the lights off) use a battery terminal cleaning brush to scrub the inside of the socket.
More likely than not, your grounds are ok...at least, if the lights come on they are ok anyways.
