[NoVa-Corvairs] Urgent Help Needed - Lighting Problems

[Curtis L Shimp]

Ron:

I haven't any good ideas.  I always check grounding first but this sounds
more like a cross over of electricity with the head light system.  Try
disconnecting some things and see what happens, like the flasher, the
connection from along the steering column to the directionals, the main
wiring connecter to the front end which is in the trunk near the master
cylinder, etc.
