Brake light help Please!!!
Ok so here is the story:
I have a 1982, I had it repainted last winter. Before it went in all my lights worked properly. When I got the car back my blinkers no longer worked as designed. I am able to blink "manually", but putting the lever in the blink position only results in a solid light. My flashers work fine so I am not thinking relay. I also notice at night one of the blinker indicators is lit very dim. I have checked and replaced all the bulbs so I am now at a standstill as to what else to do.
A couple weeks ago I was driving at night and someone told me my drivers side brake light was out. I pulled over and it works just fine when my headlights are off. When I put my headlights on the brake light lights as it should but when I step on the brake it goes out, but only on the drivers side, the passenger side works fine.
Yes the bulb is fine and I even changed out the brake light socket and it is still doing the same.
So where do I go from here? I have two different problems but they are so closely related I am thinking that one is causing the other or something like that.
Please if anyone knows anything about either or both of these issues I could sure use some guidance.
Thanks

Our cars are so different in age that I doubt my problem is yours, still here's what happened to me

This was after checking the harness from the rear forward. If I'd started at the front maybe the story would have been different.
