help electrical problem!

The Flashers , running lights and headlights operate with the key off. it may be that your turn signal switch is grounding in the column when you operate the lever.( During the following test, always walk around the car to verify all lights are working, if they aren't, look for a bad bulb.) Leave the key off, put on the flashers. if they work ok, (all four corners) then turn on the running lights. if they work ok ,turn on the headlights. if they work ok, turn on the key, turn off the flashers(the two won't work at the same time)and turn on the right turn signal. if the flashers flash both left and right, you have solved your problem.
Remember, ON a mopar, everything attached to the dash is hot and the body is a ground. Also, The hot on a mopar runs through the turn signal switch all the time, even on the late 60's and 70' cars.


Another thing, frequently the four way or turn signal relays under the dash may make contact with the dash frame, and This can cause a fault, causing even more problems. They can also be defective, or the wrong size, and really mess with the operation. Turn signal and flasher relays don't have the same resistance, so if they have too much resistance, or not enough, then everything is out of wack. Your flasher should be steady, not too fast. same with the turn signal. too fast or too slow indicates a voltage problem.
I hope this helps,,,,,
