Re: turn signal question

["Daegrigg (Don)" <daegrigg@domain.elided>]

Would seem that the relay/switch alternates signal to front and rear.  (If
you could see front and rear simultaneously, you would see the flash
alternated between the two)  Wthen either is not available to take the
signal, the signal goes to the one that is.  Had this problem on the
Alfetta.  Drove me crazy until I figured out that signal case was not
grounded.
