Left turn signal on solid with running lights
« on: April 12, 2016 - 10:47:36 AM »
This is happening on my 72 Challenger. All turn signals working fine then all of a sudden this morning I turn on the lights and I see my left turn signal light goes on solid with them. 
Other than turning on with the running lights, the left turn signal still works.
Anyone ever experence this before? Any ideas where to start looking for the problem?

My turn signals and flashers were doing some crazy stuff a few years back. I ended up replacing the small harness in the steering wheel and it fixed all gremlins.

Going to check all grounds this weekend...may also replace the blinker switch and harness. It feels really loose.

Problem went away before I had a chance to troubleshoot it!

Sure sounds like an intermittent ground.
