In my new '82 diesel the turn signals perform normally unless the lights
are turned on.  Then they speed up.  Just to make things a little
weirder, the right side is faster than the left.  I also notice a slight
increase in speed during the day (no lights) when I apply the brakes.
Does this sound like a bad ground in the taillight assy?  I will be
pulling Hanagon-Blue (named after my scruffy Schnauzer, Hannah Blue)
into the garage this weekend to see what it is exactly that I have added
to my fleet.  On the list is check of electrical connections but it
would be helpful if I could go after existing problem areas before I
start creating new ones!

PS.  Thanks for all the replies on my "diesel tips thread".  They have
all been great!  Barbara, I will forward them to you.
