Default Turn signal indicator...

So, I finally got most of my wiring sorted out, but I'm still having two problems:
My right side turn signal indicator light turns on when I turn the lights on. It will turn off when I turn the dimmer all the way to off. The wiring leading to the printed circuit is good, and the printed circuit also looks good. Anyone know what's going on?
Also, my voltmeter will drop straight to zero when I turn my dash lights on. It will also go back to normal with the dimmer switch off. My digital voltmeter does not register any substantial drop in voltage when this happens. (didn't really think it would...)
Any clues would be helpful.

i had the same issue with mine, and i just worked the printed circuit board around some and jiggled the bulb socket (the professional way ) until it stopped being lit. it took some tries but it will eventually come correct

Me three. Had the exact same problem. The printed circuit boards are crap. Took me 2 days worth of fussing with it, but I finally got it.

Still from time to time my right side turn signal indicator will not work, along with my high beam indicator.

Cool, thanks. I thought maybe it would be that, especially after I checked for current at the connector for the circuit board and didn't find any with the lights on. Probably gonna screw around with it a bit tonight. Any cheap alternatives? Like a new one?

dont think there is really a fix for it, its just sensitive to where its placed at. mine shorted out on a hard launch so i had to run aftermarket gauges
