Re. problem with turning lights! #30
 
Hello and thanks to all that gave me directions! UPDATE The isue was when I turned on my Parking lights or Headlights both turning lights would come on (Green) 67 GTO!! Signal lights would flash but both remain on Green. So I pulled the seat stuck head under dash. Found 2 black wires going into 1 Male spud. (Up behind Ash Tray) going nowhere. Measured voltage, No volts, Put a jump wire on spud and went to ground! Walla! Turned on parking lights signal lights did NOT come on and function as they should . QUESTION Ware does this male spud plug in I can not locate it! (Two Black Wires Going In To 1 Male Spud Up Behind Ashtray) any help would be appreciated!

Is that one male spade a factory terminal with plastic connector? Or a terminal someone has added?

Either way I wouldn't worry much about it being hooked up factory. I'd bolt/screw it to a good ground where ever is easiest. If you don't want to change terminals.... Make up a jumper wire with a ring terminal on one end and female spade on the other.

Yes it has a brown plastic spud! Note this car is Factory!! I know because I bought it when it was 3yrs old. Zero modifications.

Unless you're growing taters in the car, I think 'spade' would be the correct terminology

Well I found it. The twin black wire that grounds the turning signals on a 67 GTO Runs across to the back of the radio plug! Factory go figure. I would like to Thank Pete for sticking with me on this!!
