Default Bubble Tail Light Problem

I've had the bubble tailights for years and just now having a problem! :( The right side lights alternate when the turn signal is activated and the running lights are on. :crazy: They work fine without the lights on, so what's up?? I did change the bulb and that didn't help. Any suggestions??!!

Thanks!!!!!!

:cheers:

You have an open ground Dan. With the running lights and right turn signal on, pull one of the lenses off, take a jumper wire and touch it from the edge of the brass part of the bulb,(just below the glass) to your bumper, or other good ground. If this makes the system work properly, simply wire a new ground into the system anywhere that's convenient.
