Trouble with AAW wiring??

problem solved , I am a dumbass

Have you checked that everything is grounded (to earth) properly?

Is this only with the Right Turn Signal or does the Left Turn Signal have the same effect? It would only stand to reason that if the Headlights flash with the Right Turn Signal that they will flash with the Emergency Flashers.
The Front Turn Signal/Run Lamp is supplied Ground through the base of the Lamp that bolts to the Valance, but if Ground were an issue, it would travel through the Run Lamp Circuit and find Ground, which would cause the Run Lamps to flash and not the Headlights
The Headlight Circuit is isolated from the Run Lamp and Turn Signal Circuits, with that being said do you have a DVOM? (Digital Ohm Volt Meter)
I would check the resistance between the Right Turn Signal Wire (Dk Blue) and the Headlight Wires (Tan -Lo Beam and Lt. Green – Hi Beam). Hint: if the High beam indicator isn’t flashing while the Right Turn Signal is on it is probably the Low Beam. If the resistance is low then the two circuits are somehow shorted together. They could be pinched, melted, pinned wrong at the cowl connector, etc. Inspecting the front headlight harness carefully might lead you to where the trouble spot might be. I do have Electrical Schematic information on the 69 Camaro if you need to know the correct pin assignment of the cowl connector.

I hope this helps and please feel free to contact me, I will do my best to help you. :thumbsup:

Very frustrating I'm sure! It looks to me to be a ground problem. Go through with jumpers and grouns each componant, if this elimintates your problem, start removing them one at a time, putting it back until the problem show back up. Once it does, Bingo! One caveat, old light sockets sometimes build up a bit of rust between the body and the socket. You may need to replace a socket if this is the case. You will need to ground EVERYTHING in the circuit you turn on, grounds can backtrace through quite a circuitous path!


Good Luck!

well guys thanks for the help . fortunately I found the problem , Turned out it was my fault. Sorry for the waste of time!

Out of pure curiosity, what did you do wrong?

well the marquez dash insert does not have provisions for the turn signal indicators. so the wires for them i had tied up , apparently some bare wire was sticking out and touching another wire.

It all works fine now

Thanks for the solution Jason. It's nice when people post back how the issue was resolved, good or bad.

Ahhh... the sweet smell of Aww Sh*+! Been there, done that! One my dash I crossed two wires (don't remember what they were) took me about two days of tracing before I figured it out. :willy:

Glad you found it!

Glad you figured it out.. sorry it was a holiday weekend. I think last time you got "stuck" on a wiring problem, I gave you my personal cell phone number to call me. You could have used it this weekend. I would have been happy to help.
