MG MGB Technical - Electrical - headlights, turn signal

Have dash apart redoing gauges (painting insides) , installing heater controls, new speedometer cable, etc.

Have all gauges except temp gauge out. Normally while working on this stuff I turn on the headlights to see if connections right, etc. Did it yesterday....no headlights or dash lights in one gauge I have installed.

2nd, have been mucking with my turn signals replacing broken plastic dash components and now my right turn signal only lights weakly, staying lit, when I activate the turn signal on that side. The left one works perfectly.

As final passing note, does anyone know where to find the chrome covered plastic dash parts with arrows for the turn signals? Found the plain green plastic ones at VB but would prefer the original.

Thanks for any help.

John,

I'll bet this is a very easy problem to fix.

Double, triple check all the grounds, (as you know, the black wires).

Then come back and tell us you see the light!
