[QUOTE="1973grandeklar, post: 409270, member: 2369"] First rule: Do not feed the gremlins after midnight! Second, re-check the installation of the new turn signal in the steering column. Reading back through, you found bare wires in the old one and this might have been the original issue. May not have been shorting directly to ground on the steering column, but shorting through a path to ground (the other light was dim when the desired light was bright). Then replacement opened up a whole new set or issues. I cannot tell you how many times I "fixed" an issue and then a new problem appeared that I thought was still the old problem only to discover that the old problem was fixed and I am now working to correct a new problem and the whole problem just sent me into a rampage and wanting to just sell the darn thing. Third: Do not get the gremlins wet! Water also tends to be a bad thing. Check the connectors for the main harness going to the back and front of the car. This is at the firewall. Hidden corrosion is also a real pain to find (because it is hidden). [/QUOTE]
