hi everyone,

i always read that the 80's volvo's had wiring issues, but i never had a problem till now. i have a 1988 740 gle wagon.

my car will not run with the RIGHT headlight on (left one is fine), so i pulled the right headlight fuse, and all was ok to get me home. then i noticed that when i use the right turn signal, it dies for a split second, then comes back, then dies, and so on with the blink of the light. so i know obviously something is wrong with that circuit. and no doubt they share the same ground, but if anyone has had any experience with this, and possibly knows a common spot for the harness to corrode, that would be greatly appreciated. i don't want to slice up the entire harness.

thanks
