lately on my '69 beetle iv'e been having an annoying turn signal issue.
it happens when im driving at night, and have the normal lights on (low beams, running lights, tail/brake lights, dash etc). ill flip on the left or right turn signal, and the indicator in the speedometer flashes once or twice, then goes out. but when it does instead of it continually flashing the leftmost warning light flashes somewhat dimly instead, and the turn signals themselves on the outside continue flashing.
at first it only happened at night when i use all the available lights for normal night travel, but now its started up during the day.
so for starters its obvious its an electrical problem, and my best guess is that the battery itself is starting to become worn out. (it probably hasn't ever been changed) and not able to handle such a load of all those lights at once.
i know the basics of a car's electrical system, but not enough to diagnose my car correctly and find a fix for it. and it is a 12V. help?
