Default couple little questions...

Idk if its all tied together or not... so I was curious of what you guys thought.. I know its not a big issue but it drive me nuts for some reason.. but my turn signals are reaaaallly slow.. I've replaced the blinker under the dash and they are still slow... but I also have a problem with the car cranking over slowly as well... replaced the battery and it still cranks slow... you guys think alternator or a bad connection somewhere... my volts run right on the half mark and when the fans are on a little under the half mark..

as you are doing this keep a keen eye out for damaged connectors or wires. check and clean all your power connections, grounds included. theres a power junction box on the passenger side fenderwell, little red plastic box. take the wires lose and wire brush the heck outa them, take the battery cables off and brush them and your battery terminals. you have a ground junction on the fenderwell clean those wire end as well. the motor has three ground studs on it, clean them and look for damage. one by the starter on the side of the block, one at the front of the motor on the passenger side under the belt tensioner, one on the driver side at the front of the block, there is another on the head on the driver side front of the head. check the large cable leading to your alternator for any damage.

Well I lost my dash lights a while back and it would blow every fuse I would put in there... tried a new headlight and dimmer switch but still nothing.. I put a meter on it today and saw that it is pulling 30 amps!!! Which means to me that there is a dead ground somewhere... maybe this could be causing the slow cranking over and slow turn signals
