    63 turn signal / parking lights

    Hello all,

    I have had a problem with my charging system. After several hours of investigation, i found several problems and have repaired them. I am now left with turn signals that work wonderfully without parkigng or headlights activated. Once the parking lights are turned on, the turn signals dim and slow down, as well as causing the rear lights to dim and all dimly blink.

    Is this going to trace back to the t/s switch, as i have read in several other strings???

    I also recently replaced my alt. and battery, which as stated earlier were not charging properly. The problems solved were a cut wire coming from the alt., and cleaning the junction connectors at the firewall to the fuse box. I also cleaned and double checked the connections/grounds to all lights.

    Please help

    It sounds like a ground problem at the sockets or ground wires. Did you disturb any ground wiring while doing the other repairs? I think the front TS and lights are grounded by a black/white wire attached to the radiator core support.

    Good Luck!

      I agree with Bruce. Check your grounds, especially in the back. I had Twilight Zone type symptoms with my 63 tail lights and blinkers. Thoroughly cleaning and tightening the grounds took care of my problems.
