[Healeys] update on wierd

Jim,
Sounds like the ground wire has an open. The power from the turn signal relay
is going to the bright, high resistance, element in the bulb and from there to
the base, which is normally connected to the ground. Instead the power
back-feeds through the low resistance element and grounds through the side
lamp circuit. There isn't enough flow to light the bright element, but the dim
element will glow. The light will go out when the side circuit is turned on
because there will be no voltage differential. Repair the ground wire. The
problem could be anywhere on the ground wire or with the connection within the
lamp boot itself.
Good luck.
Bill lawrence

> spent about 3 hours today cleaning all the grounds, checking contilnuity and
voltage to the signal light.  nothing has changed.  did discover that right
signal was flashing when wire was disconnected. careful examination revealed
it was the park light that was flashing on the right with left signal on.  how
can this be?  will start to track it down tomorrow.  tried replacing lucas
flasher with the old buss flasher that came off the bj8, but that more screwed
up.  the pilot light was on all the time and no signal.  checked it a couple
of times for correct wiring, then put the lucas back on.  will order a new
flasher, but do not think that is it.   anybody got any new leads, let me
know.  hjim
