I had a problem with my dash and blinkers doing eradic things...  The
Elec. Gurus told me about grounding clips.  These rust badly and need
sanded so the connection will work, it brightens dim and non functioning
blinkers and I did see them on the headlights when I was messing around
with my horns, (don't ask).  Anyway take some sand paper and a
screwdriver its VERY easy to try.  if its not the problem it cant hurt.
