Default left signal does not work with headlights on

Hi all, I have a little problem, tonight was the first time I put my headlights on since I purchased my 77 in February, when I turned them on I realized that I had no left signal, I turn the lights off and it works again. I have been hiding in the back ground reading and learning alot about these treasures. I thought that I may have got my hands on one that was ...well perfect . A girl can dream, but then this happened.

To the wise people of the forum, any words of wisdom as to where one might start to solve this problem....

Thanks Janice

you have a bad ground. Go thru them on the headlight harness and the ones for the sig lights.

check the bulbs too... there are 2 and 3 conductor bulbs that are used on the vette...... sounds like you are creating a loop somewhere

Also, make sure it is the correct number bulb, same as the bulb that works during nite drives, and make sure it's in the socket correctly....some of the greatest pleasure is those cool summer nite drives...you'll figure it out
