hey guys, i have an 82 Bonneville wagon that i swapped out the front-end for a 78 Mally. before i got the thing started i had all the lights working right; blinkers worked, high beams, the works. i started it yesterday and drove it for the first time in many years. i didn't check the lights while doing so, but when i got back to the shop i did and got bummed really quick. all the lights come on but the side makers don't blink now at all and they go off when i hit the brake. both turn indicators come on on the dash when i hit the brake as well. the high beams work and the brake lights engage as they are suppose to. i'm not very good with electrical gremlins. on a side note, when i was working the bugs out with the front-end swap the lights wouldn't come on at all. i put a charger on the battery and keep jacking with the turn signal and light switch; engaging/disengaging. they finally came on after multiple attempts; i was thinking that the brushes need to be exercised. any ways, that is where i'm at. if you have some incite please let me know, i'm really close to getting this thing back on the road and i think we all know that feeling, thanks
 
What he said.
Also verify you are using the correct bulbs for the harness(es). One wrong bulb can make everything go screwy.
I believe the taillights and marker lights are on the same circuit.
 
kool, i got them working. thanks for the help guys
