Green Dash blinker indicator issue
Crap, posted in the wrong section, Mod, please move to C3 Tech, Thanks.
Pulled the lights on for the first time this year. I always forget how crappy they are.
My issue is the right green indicator on the dash lit up. Not fully, like "half lit". Left is fine. Flip the stalk to the left, works fine, flip it to the right and it also works fine. Only when it cancels (middle) does the right arrow illuminate to "half brightness". I played with the stalk last night as I drove and it didn't make any difference. The stalk does feel kind of "loosy goosey" in the column, but it always has, nothing new.
Perhaps the flasher under the dash needs replaced? Thoughts?
All other dash electronics work fine. Well, except for the clock, which hasn't worked in 10 years Ive owned the car.
Anybody experience this before?
Car is a '78.

Can I live with it?, yeah. But its distracting to me.
I need to replace the speedo housing (real fake wood to black), so I'll check out the connections behind it then. Bit of a brush out and see what happens. Worst case, I'll take the bulb(s) out I guess.
Thanks for the input guys.
