 Unfortunately Turn signals have wire colour same as Front Markers   GR Left 
and GW right.
 
 I think its been reconnected  wrongly.  Then an extra bulb in the circuit 
will stop the flasher.

The plot thickens!  What are the markers and what are the parking lights?  
Markers on the sides; parking lights on the front (second element of the turn 
signal bulb?)  If so, the wiring diagram I have (U.S. spec, air cond, 
LE12641) shows the same colors for parking lights as your's shows.  The 
markers show RO for both the front markers; just like the rear.  However, 
there are no RO wires up front.  What I do have are the same color wires that 
you specify (L-GR; R-GW) that are actually connected (same color as turn 
signals).  

Do your front side markers flash with the turn signals?  My left one does.  
What I reconnected on each side was a three wire bundle to the turn 
signal/parking lamp - (two colored+1 ground) and a two wire bundle to the 
marker lamps (1 colored, 1 ground)-seems the only way to hook it up.  But I 
guess I can try it the other way around and see what happens.
Thanks, Peter.
