I have a 1950 Business coupe, with added on aftermarket Turn Signals. Now I know this issue has been around forever and yes I am a complete idiot. The problem is that when I turn the headlights on my turn signals do not work. Everything that I have gleaned thus far is that there is a ground problem with the parking/turn signal sockets. I have taken both front and rear sockets apart and cleaned then and put in new bulbs, the manual shows that the "light" is the ground(the housing) not the bulb. This proves out and having cleaned all of these parts and checking for ground I still cannot figure it out, is it possible that either the headlight buckets and sockets or the headlight switch could be the culprit? Any help pointing this idiot in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
