    Mark,
    I owe you a case of beer. The link worked for me and illuminated ( ‘lectric pun) my problems. For anyone who stumbles across this message in the hunt for schematics or sport lights, the relay for sure is in the kick panel. It’s a three pin relay, grounded through the body on a 7/16 bolt. Sits down in the body and if you’re not looking for it, it would be hard to notice. However the sport light relay is “supposed” to have a toggle switch to activate. On my ‘71 grabber there is a male/female 2 pin connector under the dash. It is right of the steering column behind the ash tray, hang a 2 pole switch and you can power the relay signal when you have your light switch in any position except off.

    My main concern was the turn signal indicator was on in the dash. Had read many people say that the bulbs were bad. If schematics are not a persons strong suit then this may shed some light on the situation. If one of the turn signal bulbs on the front of the car is burnt out (or in my case missing) the marker lights will ground through the indicator bulbs in the dash causing them to illuminate. Normally all the side marker lights ground through the non working filament on their respective front turn signal bulb. Once you turn on an indicator, that wire (either white/blue or green/yellow) will get 12v to operate the turn signal bulb, thereby giving the marker lights on that side power on both terminals and no ground, causing them to go out/ flash alternatively to your front and rear turns.

    I ended up pulling all my marker lights out until I can find some turn signal housings to fit the car just to keep the dash lights off for now. Hopefully that is all a little more clear than mud.

    appreciated!!!!
