Ok I bought my 1970 El Camino off of someone in Kansas and the problem is when I drive the car and i put my left turn signal on both of the rear blinkers flash and in the front of the car the left flashes and when i put on my right blinker it is normal but when i turn on my headlights the left blinkers don't even work but my right does. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks!

Bad Grounds, Bad Grounds, Bad Grounds When the vehicles get older this becomes a common problem. Trace the ground wires and remove the bolts and clean the surfaces and terminals. There should be a couple on the core support. At least one back by the rear bumper. There are lots of ground connections but maybe those will get your lights working. HTH

You forgot to mention grounds.

Yea but did you notice we didn't hear back from him. I bet he figured out it was just some bad grounds.

Don't mean to burst your bubble.
I highly doubt that replacing your turn signals is going to solve your problem!

I had something similar happen a long while back. The Hazard switch on my car was actually pushed in and the knob was broken off. Add in a bad flasher relay and it can make all kinds of weird turn signal problems. It might be worth looking into.

Other than that, I would agree with 464elky....Bad Grounds, Bad Grounds, Bad Grounds.
