[AT] A question for the electrical wizards

[charliehill]

Check the ground on the one dim turn signal first.  You might have more than 
one ground problem.  Sometimes when you loose one ground the circuit will 
find another way to ground through a light or something.  One of my high 
school friends had an old Plymouth Fury.  Something went haywire in his 
grounds.  It did 2 or 3 strange things that I can't really remember any 
more.  Seems like one had to do with the radio but I do remember that if you 
opened the glove box  the dome light would come on.
I don't know if he ever figured it out or not.
