Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Firebird / September 2005Turn signal ghost
Picked up my '68 Camaro yesterday, after 3 months in the body shop; the interior was & the engine compartment still is coated with dust. Driving down the road, the left turn signal will flicker, more on concrete then on asphalt. The left fender was re-aligned. Would a short in the wiring cause the turn signal to flicker on? Or could there be dust in the switch, or bulb socket? Seems to be the only problem, so far. >Picked up my '68 Camaro yesterday, after 3 months in the body shop; the >interior was & the engine compartment still is coated with dust.

You didn't say if you only seen it flicker inside at the indicator. Did you have parking lights on ? if you did and the indicator was flashing on and off it could be a bad ground and back feed into the turn signal. > Picked up my '68 Camaro yesterday, after 3 months in the body shop; the > interior was & the engine compartment still is coated with dust.

Must be a bad ground, probably at the back where it was disassembled. Thanks. >You didn't say if you only seen it flicker inside at the indicator.

It's probably one of the front body harness grounds. Spend a hour or so inspecting the harness. It could be some miss-happ like the harness caught or a fastener thru the harness. Charles |
