Rear turn signals

cliffdogg2005 · Posted: Wed Dec 24, 2014 9:32 pm Post subject: Rear turn signals

I have a 57 oval and having problems with my rear turn signals. When I turn on the left side they blink correctly but the rear right comes on also. When I turn on the right side again it works but now the rear left comes on as well. I'm lost and any help is greatly appreciated. The wires are new and I tried to trace them best as possible. I also tried a new turn signal switch and it still did the same thing. New to this so again thank you for any knowledge sent my way.

Is it possible that the ground in the front could be bad?

It could be ANY of the ground connections. I'd start with the Copper tab on the tail light brackets making good contact with the bulb holder

Did you figure out the problem? I had a similar issue on my 56. I tried messing with the ground and ended up braking the copper tab. I found a replacement from Koch's'.
