hello, btw thanks barney and taman, for response, problem is I'm caught in the middle. For thoughs who dont know.. I have all good head lights& tail lights, and side marker lights all around.not a bulb issue. left turn signal works front and back and on sides. If I turn right turn on all hell breaks loose, front lights flash even if not on. back not affected. I think... If I hit high  beams, and turn on right turn signal on...radio and to lesser extent interior ligts flcker, also. I assume a back ground/short, since with hazzard on, head lights 'join in'..blink blink..going on tamans, idea, would hazzard switch do this..as barney said, maybe a crossed ground. Last question, I need to know what,  (lt green, dark green, tan, brown, blue, lt blue do.) I have the 81 pontiac service manual my bible..lol. but I dont real know how to read scmemtics. I guess is the greens wires mostly grounds..or brown?...color blinded, I think tan is high beam wire since a 1.0 wire. or do I have this backwards. when car was painted ,,black all wires are black at front end. No i dont have que-tips and thinner, lol.. hope i'm sorta clear. or dmman3765@h tmail.com.

Hello there My 80 indy turbo was the same way if i turned on the turn signal my headlight would flash with'm!After a week i figured it out it is in the steering colume!It's the brown half moon looking deal.you need to take the wheel off pull it out should go all the way to the bottem off the colume.Thats what i did and it's fine now!
