Default Light question

Hi,
Question about my '71. When i turn my headlights on my left directional light stays illuminated on the dash. When i turn the directionals on they work fine (blink), it's just the one on the left stays lit solid when the directional is in the off position. The lights outside the car seem to be fine, just the one on the dash is an issue. Any idea?

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,

Check for a blown bulb in the car! In most cases this symptom is caused by a blown bulb or a wire loose at a socket. Double check the parking lamps, marker lamps and the tail lamps.

You were right, it was the front turn signal light...thanks. I'll get a new bulb and see if that fixes it.
