    66 GT350...Right front turn signal, and instrument panel indicator don't work. I can hear the flasher, and the right rear signal light works. The right front parking light works. Seems like it should be an easy fix. I guess the instrument panel indicator, and the right front signal light are connected together somehow? I am thinking the problem is in the turn signal switch, but it just seems odd to me. The left side works fine. Any thoughts before I tear into it? Thanks

    Sounds silly but have you replaced the bulb?
    If you have, check the electric connection in the right front
    bulb holder.

    Yes, the bulb is good, and the parking light works. Looking at the schematic, it does look like the dash indicator, and the front signal are connected together. The rear looks like a different connection. Probably something loose or broken in the switch. I have no power to the signal portion of the front signal or the dash indicator. Worked fine last time I drove it. Dang the winter..:angry:

    Remove your steering wheel and check at the switch contacts.

    Yes, I think that will be my next move. Something in there isn't making contact. Thanks..:)

    I had the same thing happen to my 65 and it was the turn signal switch.

    That's kind of what I am thinking now. Probably attack it Saturday. Thanks
