Restoring Rusty

[Gregski]

now as far as my Left (aka driver side) turn signal problem, technically it ain't a turn signal problem, the turn signals work fine, all of them

the problem is the parking light or what ever you want to call it, the left aka driver orange parking light in the left fender does NOT come on

here are the facts:

1. there is a light brown wire that runs from the black square bulk head connector on the firewall to both the left and the right side parking lights

2a. a light blue wire runs from the same bulk head connector to the left (driver) side orange parking light in the fender

2a. a dark blue wire runs from the same bulk head connector to the right (passanger) side orange parking light in the fender

TROUBLESHOOTING

teach me something because my testing shows I am a total ignoramous

I thought the light blue and the dark blue wires were supposed to be positive and when touched to ground with a test light the test light should illuminate, but that is not what happens in my case, the opposite is true, the light comes on when with an alligator clip on the light or dark blue wires when I touch the pointy end of the test light to the positive terminal on the battery, but whatever I think the blue wires are for the turn signals and those seem to work

now the brown wire I assume is the common wire for the parking lights both left and right, so I don't get why I get no signal / power in it at the left fender, I think I need to unwrap it all all the way back to the bulk head and examine every inch for splice-atalogy problems
