Default 75 Corvette turn signal issue

My hazards and right turn signal work fine, when i turn it to the left only the left green arrow blinks but it activates my hazards and even my interior lights flash if the **** isnt twisted to off. Using a test light i narrowed it down to the purple wire of the harmonica connector, which flashes when turned both left or right. I cleaned all my grounds, all flashers have been replaced, and all fuses. Could someone please tell me what my next step would be? Thanks.

On another note, when i pull the headlight switch to the first click before the headlights actually pop up, or to the second click, my tail lights become the brightest they can be, making my brake lights not visible.

I would start by making sure you have the right bulbs in the rear lights.

The purple should flash left or right as it goes to flasher. Was everything working before? Anything changed? I would check your harmonic connector take it apart make sure all clean (use ink eraser) or contact cleaner spray put back together. Could be in you turn sig assy. You can pull wheel and ensure wires are intact on turn signal assy

Everything was working before restoration. i recently cleaned my grounds and certain issues stopped with them, (the green arrows would stay lit) but i still have this issue i converted to the bubble tail lights and wired the sockets according to the instructions. I've also pulled the wheel already and the assy. looks fine but i'm not really sure how to test it.

*my old turn signal flasher says 2 lamp 12 volt on it but the new one i got is a 10 lamp max??? would that cause an issue like that?
