Headlights flash with turn signals - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72 Blazer - with the headlight switch turned off, they flash along with all of my dash lights when my turn signals are turned on. I feel like it's a ground issue, but what grounds should I start with? Dash ground, where is that located? Headlight grounds Turn signal grounds maybe? I hate electrical issues.

It's the turn signal ground, try to see if only one direction does it.
Do the tail lights flash too?

Both directions do it and the tail lights dont flash like the headlights.

When ever I track down a problem like this, it does seem to be ground problems. Check the grounds at the headlight bulbs and the turn signal bulbs. also double check the bulbs. Once had a bulb filament break and short to the other filament causing all sorts of strange issues. this was at the rear bulb
