Unhappy elctrical problem plz help. cant afford ticket.

thanks in advance to all the viewers and answers.. im really having problems on my 88 mustang gt. when my lights or off my turn signals work perfect both front and back ... also my 4way flahsers work fine. but as sooon as i turn my lights on my turn signals dont work on the front no more only on the back. so yes when lights are on turn signals work on rear but not in front they dont do anyhting.. and neither do my 4way flashers if my lights are on they dont flash in the front only on the back.. so i know its no my blinker... i think its more of a wire circuit or mix up in the front.. anyone help please i need my turn signals to work .. i dont want a ticket..

Is this a issue that just started recently? Did you buy it that way? I had a weird issue somewhat similar but not quite.... My jeep driver turn signal would turn on when pressing the brake..that was a bad switch which I replaced and solved.. What happens when only your parking lights are on? IDE start at the switches for lights and blinkers or the relay that controls them

If not grounds I know those signal switches can go all kinds of funny. One in my 04 whenever I turned on the high beams the washer fluid would start spraying non stop. Replacing solved the issue.

ok so i tryed all the switches and wires and they are all good .. what i noticed now is that the blinker does work.. the problem is that it blinks really low like you can bearly see it.. so my guess is that theirs a ground problme somewere. because they are bliking but really low that you can hardly see it now i checked the two grounds next to the radiator and their good. can anybody tell me were are their more grounds to the lights that i can check for??
