A: If it does it one way, you have a short in one of the front sockets (rear 
would cause the brake light fuse to blow) Both ways indicates a bad battery 
to body (not motor) ground. It takes away the power needed for the voltage 
regulator. Aside from that, a dying alt with poor output can do it 
(sometimes even just a loose belt)

When I use the turn signal on my 83 SX/4 it causes the
voltmeter pointer to cycle in time with the blinker,
the lights on the radio dim and brighten and the alt
light glows very faintly (only able to see it in the
dark).  Any idea what may be causing this?  Thanks.
