Hi Jim.
These are typical symptoms arising from poor earth connections. The symptoms
demonstrate that the flasher unit is good as are all the circuits.  The key
places to revisit are the black wire earthing tags to ground.

Merry Christmas

Subject: [Healeys] wierd electrical problem

drove the bn6 in the dark for the first time in over a year and noticed that
my signal lights were inop with the headlights on.  investigated today and
discovered that the brake lights do not work with lights on, either.  i
tracked all the wiring and everything is by the book.  when the headlights
and park lights are off, the left signal is slow, the pilot light on dash
works, but the right signal comes on very weak at the same time.  i can hear
the signal flasher every click.  with the right signal on, there is no left
signal at the same time, but the pilot light only flashes once, the flasher
unit makes one click, then stops, and the right signal flashes at a faster
rate than the left one.  the brake lights work fine when no headlights are
on.   i ran out of time to investigate further, but wondered if any
electrical genius out there had any idea of where to start.  new wiring
harness, flasher relay unit on bulkhead and new lucas signal flasher during
restoration.  hjim
