Default turn signal issue

I have a 1969 Camaro that I changed over to all LED bulbs. I changed to a no-load flasher module, but the front turn signal don't work if the running lights and/or headlights are on. If turned off then they work. I'm puzzled...and it won't pass inspection. Any ideas? Thanks! James

Install a P/N 552 flasher.
Alternator is working?

Jsharp,

Most likely, you have corrosion in the light fixture itself, or a bad ground there. Check the grounding by clipping on a temporary ground wire, and see if that fixes things. If the fixture is corroded inside, you may be able to get a pre-wired new fixture from NAPA (or others). If the grounding is shaky, run a new dedicated ground wire from a solid ground point to the fixture, right on top of the existing ground wire. Keep us posted.

Ended up being the wiring. Had installed aftermarket turn signals and had to switch the polarity and now they work!
