Default Wireing Problem, Old School 79

I have the old school 79 custom deluxe 4x4 and it has a major wiring issue. It has done fine untill now, the right turn signal has fouled every thing up. The right headlight either runs very dim or not at all and the right turn signal indicator in the dash stays on when the headlights are on. I need HELP.

You probably already have but I would start with the bulbs making sure the turn signal is not burnt out then check the ground for the lights as this is the cause of most electrical problems. If nothing is found with these look over the wiring to try and find any damaged wires try to follow them to the fuse box. Hope you get the problem tracked down, let us know.

I have an 83 and had a problem similar after a put a flat bed on it and put different taillights on it. If you cont have any wiring or ground issues up front go to the taillights and check all of your wiring and grounds back there cause it can back feed through the system. But it definately sound like a ground issue to me to.
