[Amc-list] Electrical problem

[Don <don_nsx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

<<<71 AMC Javelin

Turns signals don't work, new flasher was installed. Drivers side tail light is very bright, the other 3 are dim. I used the head lights one time and when I went to start it 15 minutes later there was not enough juice to start the car. I have a suntach and aftermarket guages plugged into the fuse panel. New battery, new alternator.
I am very bad at electrical issues. I am guessing a ground wire or I crossed something. Any suggestions where I should start??

Troy,
Tail lights/turn signals are usually done with dual contact bulbs. 1 side is bright for brake lights and turn signals and the other side is less bright and is for park lights.
If you are trying turn signals and you only have 1 bright light, you have probably crossed some wires and have the dim or park light side of the bulb powered.

With all due respect, if you don't have a clue about electrical, find a friend that does, and have him help.
You can get into a real mess quickly and problems can be very difficult to fix if you don't know what you're doing.
Don
