Ive read a bunch of threads and havent sean what Im getting.
With all bulbs in and turn signal indicator on the light stays solid bright green.
But nothing on the outside lights.
If I remove ALL the exterior bulbs it will now blink bright green,
BUT does not go completely out. Dim then back bright.
As soon as I put in any bulb it now stays on bright and no longer blinks.
Brake lights work, parking lights work. head lights work.
Flasher unit is new.
brand new batteries all new clamps
New ground to frame.
Signal switch is grounded.
To me almost has to be a short to ground since light dims not going completely out.
HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLP.
Thanks

That *does* sound like a short to ground. Maybe it is in the switch assembly itself? Have you tried to *bypass* the switch and manually *trip* the relay?

I ended up salvaging a unit from a 1953 M54 in the junkpile that works, so, if you can find an older unit, it might be worth grabbing....
Cattlerepairman, your *idea* is on the hot plate, ready to go, if needed...

I did the conversion to the modern 24v flasher.
That took care of the driver side blinker.
When I put the passenger side on the parking light was blinking.
Looking into and moving the wire around in the front light it started to work.
I took that light apart, cleaned it all up and now works as it's susposed to
