I want to thank those who tried to help.

The problem was found. When the car arrived home, I opened the fuse box and everything appeared good. I did some testing and found the problem to be a fuse that looked good but had cracked where the filament met the end caps. The fuse fell apart in pieces as it was removed from the fuse block.

A replacement fuse was installed and everything was fine.

Just for the record, many moons ago I worked for Chrysler and in came a 1969 Plymouth with a problem.

When the left turn signal was energized the signals worked perfectly, when the right turn signal was energized the signals would flash (3) times and then on the 4th flash the system would start operating as if the Hazard warning flashers had been turned on.

The owner of the car had gone to several shops, all of which wanted several hundred dollars to chase the "gremlin".

I found the problem to be a new bulb that had been installed in the right front. The filament of that bulb was cut too long and when the bulb flashed multiple times the filament would heat and stretch down in position contacting and energizing the second filament and then the other lights.

Ever since that one, I diligently check bulbs first.

Thanks Again.....
