I cant really tell when this happened but at one point my lights/turn sig's were all working flawlessly. about a month ago I noticed something on my 69 Charger.....when my parking lights are on my left turn signal on the dash cluster and the hood are ON while my turn signal in the valance is OFF.....when I hit the turn signal to make a left turn the hood and cluster blink normally as well as the valance signal....However the right side works normally with the parking lamps on...The right hood blinker and cluster light are off until used and the right valance lamp is on.

What could it be? I havent messed around with those wires at all. All I have done is remove the steering column to get at my exhaust manifold and also added a headlight relay kit to the harness.

You have a ground problem in the left front signal or a bad bulb.

I had the same thing happening on my '71 GTX. It turned out that the socket was not making good contact with the housing. It took several attempts to get a good ground to the housing.

I'll pop the valance signal off tomorrow and check it....Might have to do some soldering

Sounds like a failing ground on the left parking light circuit.
