Hello I have a 1980 Mustang I'm getting back in shape after sitting a decade.

All lights on the vehicle work, except for the front running lights.

Bulbs are good, grounds are good, but I don't see power to the socket with the lights on. Blinker parts of the circuit works on both sides. The indicator module does not indicate a problem.

This one here:


Any ideas on where I should begin looking? Anyone have a wiring diagram from the light switch?
Also, the blinker indicator on the dash lights up solid with the headlights on... Any ideas why that might be happening?
