Ok go to fuse 13 and back probe it does it flash their with the headlights ON ??? Or does it flash with the signal on right turn???

Blue wire flashing!!! That means the ground is OK.

Give me a little more detail Tom. You want me to check it with the headlights on and the signal on? Then headlights off with the signal on?

Also, I'm not sure what back probing is.

Tom, I'll do that first thing tomorrow after work. It's dark here, so I'm out of luck. I left the console panel apart, and will let you know what happens right after work. I never knew the fuses had small holes in them for testing. New to me, and I've changed a lot of them, guess I never paid any attention. Fuse 13, got it.

I appreciate you guys a lot.

Tom, I'm in nursing care. We take care of Veterans long term. We are between a hospital and a nursing home. Long term care facility. Guys from their 20's up past 100 years old. I've been there over 18 years.

On the Sport's issue, I am hoping, that with yo guys helping, we'll figure it out. I'll be here around 3:15 or so with the results of the fuse 13 check. It's really driving my crazy.

Alright....I checked the fuse (it was blown, I replaced it), and the test light blinked through the fuse with the headlights turned OFF. When I turned the headlights on, the test light glows steady, no blinking when the signal is on.

Now what? Ugh !!!!

Young Priest and Old Priest?

I'd start removing things from the circuit IE bulbs, relays or whatever and work my way in. Remove non essential stuff and see if it starts behaving. So far this is odd.

Also side thought, i don't get why your blinker is messing with the gauge lighting. Still makes me think ground but you checked everything. Do you have an EVTM for your car? If not I can maybe scan some stuff out of mine if you want.

I get lost reading those. Electrical just isn't my thing. I don't understand it either. I pulled the console control panel, and can't find an issue. Weird stuff happening. No dash lights when I turn on the head lights, signal working the dash lights with the head light switch off...etc.... Just weird.

Vinnie.. try this. Splice into one of the black wires connected to a bulb receptacle that is dim.  Then, with the wire you spliced with, get a good contact with the body. Say maybe the trunk latch. Turn on your signals and hold the wire on to give it good contact.. see if the light get brighter. Try this and let us know.

Nope, no dice. No change. No signals. Man, am at a loss. Obviously, it HAS to be something.

Dang, maybe do the same with a gtond fron one of the dash light receptacles? Also do you have a ground going ftom your negative battery post to the body of your car. That cant really be it cause the drivers side is fine. I know my old toyota pickup ran like  and had dim lights without a body ground. Did you check the wire eric was talking about? I really think Tom was onto something with the dash ground too.
