Dave you are so right. Five cars and one brain on my part. On the westy the
green turn signal light has the faint glow. original problem was an
occasional rapid blinking left turn signal and a buzz from the fuse panel
relay. I replaced the rear bulb and relay and cleaned the ground wire but
still have the occasional rapid blink but -so far- no buzz just the glow
when engine is running. Right side tun signal always normal. Does this
sound like  bad ground or perhaps a crossed wire someplace. I rewired and
cleaned the ground a couple of summers ago.
