Turn Indicator Lights

After figuring out the continuous "buzzing" from the hazard relay (thanks to Dave for the master cylinder reset switch tip), I'm down to minor annoying items. With the car ON (or Accessories ON) and the hand brake ON, I get the normal flashing turn indicator light on the panel when I signal right or left. However, when I release the hand brake, the indicator light does not flash. Thus when I'm driving down the road, I tend to look like an idiot with the turn signals on, totally confusing the other drivers if I'm turning or not (not that they aren't confused to begin with). At this point I just have to remember on each turn to make sure the signals are off since I don't have the idiot light flashing at me. Any ideas on how to get the light flashing on the panel????

check your grounds!
looks like you got something mixed up. with the handbrake on, you simply ground out the handbrake bulb (through the switch).
meaning, your idicator lights only have ground with the handbrake on.

try adding a seperate ground wire for the gauge that has the indicator lights in it (it should already have one, but hey) ...

Put a new ground to the indicator light and it works. Thanks Andy.
