Turn Signal Help
 
I've got a problem with my turn signals and could use some help. My radio shuts off every time I turn them on. I also noticed that all the lights dim slightly and flash with the blinker when it is on. Could it be a bad flasher relay? I have not replaced it because I have not seen a bad relay cause all the lights to blink before. Is it possible or any other ideas? The truck is a 66 GMC and I have looked over everything for possible shorts. Thanks

Welcome to the board!
Your flasher is fine, all it does is make the lights flash.
Is this test with the engine running, or turned off?
I would actually first check the charging system, make sure you have full system power before diggingg into anything else.

Check your grounding,making sure that every major body part,i.e. cab,frontend and bed is grounded to frame,engine to frame.I just got through doing a complete rewire on a 65 GMC and the system all references ground through the body to the frame back to the negative on your battery.Hope this helps.
