On my 1957 Bird when you apply the brakes the dash lights come on. Then when you turn on the headlights the right signal quits working. I've replaced the headlight switch and checked the bulb grounds. The turn signal works as it should with the headlights off. Any ideas? Thanks Lex

wiring problem
Lex446,
Might try looking into the turn signal switch. Also look at front junction blocks to see if there are any frayed wires etc. I had a similar problem on my '56 and the wires to the blocks were a rats nest. Changed the front harness and that did the trick. .. Good luck!

Yes, grounds are a real buggaboo and do get the Manual. CTCI also has a wiring diagram that folds out that I have found useful.
