Bob - I took most of the underdash harness connections apart and examined them closely (especially the green wire) and could not find any problems. Everything looked fully seated properly.

With parkiing lights on and key in on position (my flashers don't work on either side with the key off) I took the parking light lenses off and verified the dim filiment on both sides was lighted.

I then took the wires loose on the right parking light and jumped the red lead to the green light wire connection. The signal light filiment lit up and is brighter than the parking light filiment. I put another jumper wire on the housing to the frame for a second ground and that didn't make any difference.

With the Park lights on, key on, and flashers on the right turned on, I probed both sides of the green wire connection with a test light at harness plug 27/54 and got a flashing test light on both sides. So the signal is getting through that connection.

However, I notice that when I look at the connector schematic on page 21 of the wiring instructions, my wire identification does not seem to match. The schematic shows a purple wire for the right signal light instead of green??? It correctly shows yellow for the left side.

The wire schematic seems to reflect a straight shot from connection 27 to the signal light but I'm not sure that is a correct assumption.

Where to from here?

Thanks
