[6pack] Electrical problems

FYI - I have the diagrams printed out on 11x17 then laminated.  Keep one in
the garage and one in the car.

 

For extra fun, you can also use them as placemats at the dining room table

First, do you have the nice color schematics, found here.

I'm no electrician, but have had pretty good luck. Looking at the purple
circuit on a 76, it does seem there's a connection with the horn and the
flash-to-pass switch. Could it be your horn relay is going bad, and sending
negative back up thru the purple wire, and it's making its way over to the
flash-to-pass/dimmer switch, causing your lights to blink? Do they blink
'on' or 'off', and does the horn also blow? 





Be aware that the headlight circuit is not fused or even protected by a
circuit breaker, so  you could be treading in dangerous waters. You'll see
the brown wires are a direct connection between the battery and the
headlight switch, and also provide the 12v power to the purple circuit which
is the 'always' on fuse (horn, glove box, hazard flashers).  So this is all
definitely related.

Sorry I was not too specific on describing my problem.  It is the headlights
that blink when I press the horn button.  I've had the car for 18 years,
daily driver, never had an electrical issue until now,  other than a bad

starter and alternator.
