Turn Signals...

Ok...I had a small problem with the left hand turn signals on my 87 Camaro...I checked the bulbs, and one was blown (Front Signal in the fascia under the headlights), so I replaced it, but still nothing. The 4 way flashers are the only way to get the bulb to light. The other lights on the left all work, but when the signal arm is depressed, there is no clicking, they just stay on. Also, the indicator light for the left hand signals stays on whenever the parking lights or headlights are on...Is this a problem with the flasher unit in the column? or is it a sneak circuit somewhere?

Mr. Yenko,

Check the ground connections at the turn signal lamps, both front and rear. Typically, "wierd" problems like the indicator on the dash lighting happen when something in the circuit has a less than perfect ground connection.
