<VV> GM 1965 Corvair manual "Chassis Electrical" figure 47 and 49 issues?

[Charlie]

Was the GM 1965 Corvair manual ever re-issued to correct issues with figures
47 figures 49, the titles of which were reversed, but more importantly, the
left rear light part of the diagram is also incorrect?

The figure shows the directional signals sharing the same lead, which would
cause both left and right lamps to blink on any turn!

The same figure in the 1967 Corvair manual is functionally correct, just
with different colored wired (so you have to buy another supplement ;>~?)

I'm trying to figure out how the directional signals (functionally) cause
the brake light to blink - is there another signal to the bulb, or does the
"blinker" simply interrupt, or shunt the brake light signal?

Shunting the brake light signal seems more likely since the directional
blinks "on-off-on" with the brake light off, but when the brake lights are
on, it blinks "off-on-off"?

I'm trying to making a functional diagram, to make it easier the next time,
so I don't have to start from scratch (again) ~ especially, the lag time of
realizing the original manual is wrong!!!

Any sources for other errors before I go down the wrong road again?

Thanks~
Charlie

Subject: <VV> Gen/fan light issues

This is a 65 Monza issue. To begin with, the speedo didn't work (separate
issue) so I got a used cluster and swapped the whole thing. All was well
until the gen/fan light stayed on when the key was off. I could hear the
voltage regulator de-energize when I disconnected the battery so I assumed,
along with group consensus, that was the issue. I replaced the voltage
regulator and solved the light staying on problem but now it won't come on
at all when I turn the key on except if it is to the ACC position. I have
tried putting the old cluster back in and it does the same thing. I have
tried another new voltage regulator no change. The pressure/temp light works
normally. Both wires to the Gen/Fan light show hot on my test lamp so it
would seem that something has to go to ground that isn't. Thinking maybe a
new ignition switch? a stuck relay? bad alternator or diode? BTW the
alternator shows 13.8 while running.  I really don't want to just throw
money at it until I have changed everything it could possibly be. Any
suggestions are greatly appreciated. Tearing my hair out (I don't have too
much to spare!) and also running out of ideas.
