Rear Right Running Light Issue
Hey, I've got a question concerning an 85 Corvette w/ 95k miles, manual transmission.
When I pull my headlight switch, my headlights pop open, and my rear running lights activate.
The passenger running lights work at their normal brightness, however my driver side running lights are as bright as the brake lights, almost as if the brake lights are eternally on when the running lights and headlights are active.
I would like to know why this is, as well as a possible fix.
-Also, my driver side blinkers don't work, so could it be the turn signal switch in the steering column?
----Anyway, thanks

Find a friend with long skinny arms with strong fingers, and try reseating the rear bulbs I have seen lights do weird things with both contacts touching bulb or internally shorted. If bulbs are good and seated then you might be looking at the directional plate or timer.
