It didn't occur to me to mention that the same fuse that supplies the turn signals also is
the "hot lead" to the amp light. So if that fuse is blown, the hot side of the amp light is
grounded through the other stuff in the circuit and the charge from the alternator lights it up.
In 1978 I had a chance to buy a very nice 142 with that problem but didn't recognize it.
It was dirt cheap (because of that problem).
If I had bought that car I might never have gotten Li'l Red!
