Dave you are so right. Five cars and one brain on my part. On the westy the green turn signal light has the faint glow. original problem was an occasional rapid blinking left turn signal and a buzz from the fuse panel relay. I replaced the rear bulb and relay and cleaned the ground wire but still have the occasional rapid blink but -so far- no buzz just the glow when engine is running. Right side tun signal always normal. Does this sound like bad ground or perhaps a crossed wire someplace. I rewired and cleaned the ground a couple of summers ago.
