Re: Front Turn Signal Quirks?
Passenger side ground is in place an connected...drivers side has 2
grounds, on that runs to the headlight is connected fine there is
another (2nd ground) that is taped off as was a red w/white stripe
wire. Still no change in turn signal status

I'd suggest giving it the once-over with a multimeter... something's
obviously amiss.

Break them loose, maybe hit them with a wire brush, and reassemble.
You can always run a ground to the battery.
Also, the ground braids and other body grounds tend to rot
and corrode over time. I had to run a ground from my stereo
to amp to frame to body and battery to remove a very
annoying whine from my large car. It would come and go
with bumps. Quiet until I bumped then noisy until the next bump...

Re: Front Turn Signal Quirks?
What are the rear ones doing?
I am looking at the schematic and it implies the running light ground is
through the rear marker lights using the white wire. I would be
checking the end of the harness in the rear for a ground not attached.
I am trying to remember mine, I rewired it back in 2000 and I only
grounded the fixture in the front if I remember right. The rear is the
harness ground.
Or if that one is hooked up too, then I would be suspecting the body
itself has lost the ground. That is a mesh cable from the top of the
engine head to the firewall on the 258.
