'74 vert

I took a perfectly good, working plastic repro right turn signal housing and decided to replace it with the original die-cast metal version.

So now my right front turn flasher doesn't work when the parking lights are on. I have a flashing turn signal when they're off... as do the hazards.

It's not pretty, but I had to do some wire updating and have checked all wires+bulb holders for resistance... all coming in at 1.3-1.5 (the brown ground is riveted to the housing).


Things were working fine before I got this wild hair!

Suggestions?

got it fixed... with the ol' aluminum foil wrapped around the bulb.

at least it wasn't my great wiring job!

I was gonna suggest add some soldering to the bulb side and grind it down to fit. I've had to do this.

I might still do that.
