my car is a '76 , the left turn signal indicator comes on when you turn on the headlights , its not super bright but its on. Now with the key on, the blinkers work but the left indicator wont go completely out.

now the strange part, with the key off and headlights on (or dashlights)
If i turn on the left blinker switch with ignition off, the indicator goes off.

All the dash bulbs are new, grounds cleaned , all bulbs work -meaning all ground and hots are good to each socket. Turn signal cam is new.

could this be the headlight switch ? I didnt have this problem before i bumped the plug off the headlight switch and lost all dash lights, now I have all the lights back working and now this... maybe i'll try resetting the headlight electrical plug completley.

Thanks in advance !

Check your owner's manual. For some model years, the parks stay on with the headlights.

Im not sure i understand... im talking about the green directional indicator in the dash

try removing just the front bulb retest, then rear bulb to see if it goes away,kinda seems as if the running light circuit is looking and finding a ground through the turn circuit.
