63 elec. problem
What do I need to check ? Keep in mind that everything WAS working.
Now when I turn on the parking lights the turn signal lights in the gage cluster go on awa the high beam indicator.
The switch that controls the headlight motors does nothing except light up the turn signal indicators. When I turn on the signal lights both indicators flash and the high beam light goes on. but the signal lights work both front and back. This is crazy. anyone know which way to go with this.. Thanks

It sounds like a classic ground problem. When you put on the park lights, the bulb seeks a ground in the socket, but if it can not find one it then will use the signal light filament and travel back to the cluster through the indicator bulb and then ground to the cluster.
Check and clean all the grounds in the front.
