Check all the ground contacts in the respective circuits to start with...
Then check the bullet connectors and the connecting receptacles in these
circuits.
Water in dirty connectors can do nasty things...

Yesterday we had heavy rain around Chicago.  I commute about 35 Mi each way,

often in the MGB.  This is the first time for a long drive in heavy rain.
Py 
new top which I installed myself last fall did great, finally no overhead 
leaks.  The under dash leak peed on my leg but also brought on a new
problem. 
 The turn signals began to malfunction.  The right would come on but not 
flash, the left flashed more rapidly and the indicator is dim.  After a
while 
it got more complex and with the same apparent evidence on the dash the
radio 
began to blink when the turn signal was on.  To complicate it even more
after 
any sharp turn which caused the car to lean it would work for a short time 
then the same malfunctions.  This leads me to believe either that the
problen 
is related to water, probably from the leak on my leg, puddling and
effecting 
the electricals or the car is posessed by demonds.  I think I'll try an 
exorcisim.  It'll be easier than tracing the leak/elect. problem.
What sage advise do you all have?
