Default Electrical question

I have a 1967 Camaro six cylinder . The issue I’m having is when I turn on the headlights both turn signals light up green and there are no dash lights, signals work, brakes work, back up lights work any ideas?

Either a bad ground of cluster to dash or miswire of cluster connector.

Rick,

I'd guess it is a bad ground. Whether you can find the problem spot or not, I'd run dedicated new ground wires from a solid Ground to the dash and the headlights, on top of any existing ground wires already there.

Thanks red42,

I think it’s a grounding issue, I replaced all the bulbs during the restoration and found grounding problems with the tail lights and corrected those, could it possibly be the headlight switch?

Rick,

Not likely. Other than ground wires, I do not think there is any connection between the headlights and the turn signal indicators.
