If you did a really good job painting then you might not be getting the
metal-to-metal ground necessary to complete the circuit. I had the same
problems when I repainted. Remove the bolts that you are grounding to and
use a file or other abrasive to lightly remove a little of the paint around
the hole. Do the same with the back of the metal fastener.
Once it is re-installed, you should not be able to see any of the areas you
ground back to bare metal. Hopefully there is a good ground connotion
between your core support and your frame.
I wonder if you can test the integrity of the ground wire-to-frame
connections used by bypassing that connection and connecting the ground wire
to the negative side of the battery terminal. If the problem persists, then
it is probably not the ground connection; however, if the system functions
properly, then there may be a ground connectivity problem. The only other
variable that might throw it off and provide a false test reading is if
there is more than one thing wrong at a time- that's what I usually run into
with my car ;-)

Subject: [Chevelle-List] wiring problem on a 68 malibu
Hello,
I am currently restoring a 68 malibu, I took the radiator core support off
of
the frame to clean and paint, and when I reassembled the wiring back onto
the
support I was unsure of one wire on the horn relay.
Now I have a left turn signal indicator light on the dash which comes on
steady with the headlights, and the right turn signal indicator stays on
steady when you signal (instead of blinking.)
Does this sound like it could happen due to having a wire wrong on the horn
relay, or possibly a bad ground?
Any help is always appreciated.
