turn signal problem

[bigballsbilly]

I'm working on my new GN. The right front turn signal does not work at all. the right rear turn signal blinks very dimly. when I turn on the headlights with the key off nothing happens when I turn the turn signal stalk to the left turn position. but when I turn thee turn signal like I'm making a right a bunch of lights on the dash come on. And this is with the ignition off!

where do I start with this? Any ideas? Also is there a good place to get the wiring diagrams?

Checked the wiring and found a poor splice to the right marker bulb but repairing it made no difference. Then found some of the dual filiment bulbs had single filiment 1156 bulbs. So I put 1157's where the dual filaments were required. The turn signals started working!!! Then I tried the turn signals with the headlights on and guess what? They stopped working for a few minutes.... even with the headlights off. So I left them alone a few minutes and checked a few minutes later and they worked but blinked very slowly. I'm going to try a flasher because they're cheap. But also noticed on rock auto that the 1157's are supposed to be 2057's. Do you think that could make a difference?

Turns out there was numerous sockets that had wrong bulbs. Works like a charm now.
