A-Body Round #2- My '76 Scamp restore...

I would go back to that ground screw and make sure it is making a good connection. Sounds like maybe it isn't getting a good ground so it has to back feed. But there are people way much smarter than I on this.

Maybe @slantsixdan?

I don't wanna get prematurely excited, but think I might have figured it out. I was looking at my Haynes manual and noticed that they show all the grounds for the front lights coming back to a single common point.

So I took some scrap wire and clamps and grew the wires on each of the ends of the headlight relay kit long enough to reach that single bolt I was using for grounding the marker Lights, and it works! At least for now...

Now I'm going to need to grow the wires for real so that they can be hooked up permanently and hopefully it still works after that....

Apparently being grounded isn't good enough- they all must need grounded on the same screw.
