wiring problems.. please! help!!!

[brianbish93]

i have a 1968 mustang coupe, im having a couple problems involving wiring.. when the headlights are off, all blinkers work. but when headlights are turned on, one filiment in the brake lights go on and when i step on the brake, both filiments go onwhich is correct , but when i turn on the blinkers, only the left side blinks in the rear but theright one doesnt blink, its still solid. yet front blinkers work. i have no idea what it could be.. thanks and also when the headlights are on, the drivers side lights are stronger then the passengers sides, head and tailights.. help! thanks again!

Welcome to NYM Brian, check your grounds, sounds like you may have a bad one. Try posting this question in the classic Mustang section, you might get some other suggestions. Oh & BTW nice to have another classic Stang here.

Hey, Welcome to the site.
I see you found the classic section. You should start a new topic in there related to this. So did this car have all of the electric(lighting ) issues Prior to the gauge swap? It looks like I might have to dust off my 68 wiring diagrams and shop manual....LOL.

I've been using and servicing the glass fuse setups for years without incident. If you have a bad main harness, then I guess you need to swap it.Your options for new would be Painless or Repo,That all comes down to personal preference, how the car is being built,finances,etc.
