Voltage Bleed Through Dash Turn Indicator-FIXED #1338777 11/21/12 12:42 AM 11/21/12 12:42 AM

440PURSUIT OP pro stock Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,548 DC, MD Suburbs	1965 Coronet: My Right Dash Turn indicator bulb lightly pulses at all times. It does not flash in sequence when actuated but still just pulses. The Left Side is fine. The body front and rear Turns work fine when actuated. Where should I look for the voltage bleed through? Will I find continuity between flasher and Right Turn in switch. Bad Circuit board possibility Thanks

I always add a 14 gauge wire from the back of the gauges steel frame to the dash of the steel frame on the car for a good ground.

No Improvement Checked rear taillight ground . it was good. No Improvement Pulled the Dash-Found capacitor not hooked up. Reconneted No improvement. Installed a gound wire from Dash frame to chassis 14ga. No improvement. Connected Dash ground to battery, No improvement. I have dash out and will test circuit board. Some of it looks compromised. Power lead to Ammeter light foil looks broken but away from Turn indicator. Anyone got a circuit boeard for a 65 Coronet? Saw a new one on EBAY for $185...NOT.

The Voltage limiters ground was on a shared circuit with the Right Turn Ground and the Ammeter Bulb Ground. Didnt connect through to the board screw that secures it to dash frame. (Upper right) Soldered a bridge and all works again. Would like a replacement circuit board for peace fo mine..... Thanks 7471496-CircuitBoard.jpg (52 downloads)
