Flasher / Directional Indicators On with Headlights?!?!
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: PULNGZ

I recently cleaned up my engine bay on my 92 (Paint, rewire, & organize). In order to do this all was temp removed from any/all flat surface areas within the engine bay. Most of the clean up was WIRING.

All went together well, and most checks out fine.

I have Two (2) odd scenario's that I am trying to correct and was trying to see if anyone knows of a fix.
________________________________________________

1st:
When the car is off & key is out of ignition, when I turn on my headlights.......the Hazard lights indicator (Both Directional Indicators) stay on solid green?????? Inside only

NOTE: Hazards work fine/normally upon pressing the "Hazards Button." Inside & out.

_______________________________________________

2nd:
I have one mystery wire....I think it's a ground but not sure. It's actually two wires, both black and taped together, located near the starter solenoid/ignition coil area at the fender well. I unwrapped the tape and it revealed what appears to be a fusible link on one of them, this is an 16 gauge wire. The other was an 18 gauge wire. I'm pretty sure that these two wires were originally connected to each other......but don't know where they ulimately connected to???

Any help / insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Bob,

I posted this on a couple of the bigger forums...I will let you know what I hear.

RE. Mystery Wire

I reviewed my trusty Chilton Wiring Diagram and the only black wire that I can see in the area you describe is to the Blower Motor for the AC/Heat...turn the heat/blower on and see if it works...you can borrow my book if needed.

Here is one response I got:

You have a Ground that is not attached which would cause your headlight/turn signal harness to not be grounded out all the way. Take those wires and FIRST get a test light and see if they have juice in them. If they do not, then ground those wires to your chassis and that should solve the problem!

and another

scratch all surfaces and reattach grounds for good connections..if that doesn't help a shorted socket or bulb in one of the turn signal bulb sockets cound cause a prob as such..had that happen on a trans am to me before

Mark,

Awesome......and good looking out man. I will explore these possible corrections. I can see not having a good, clean, ground as a potential for sure.

I'll post my findings.
