Hey,
So my old 86 2.5 gas, man trans has some what i think is a grounding issue. When I turn the headlights on my indicators done work, WTF! Anyway i cleaned a ground up on the inner fender on the drivers side and that fixed the Left indicator.
Does anyone know where I might find the ground to the Right side headlights?
I thought it would be the same one but now when I turn the headlights on I have no Right hand Indicator and the radio flashes. I do have some fuse panel issues with it too which are related to the indicator fuse, the old girl sat for a few years before I got it, so there is some corrosion on the fuse panel as well.
Any ideas? Thanks for your help! Cheers!

Here.CRUISER'S MOSTLY RENIX TIPS

I suggest unplugging EVERY electrical connection in the engine bay you can find, whether engine related or not, and spraying it out with a , visually inspecting the terminals making sure they haven’t retracted into the plastic holder, and then plugging it back together.
There’s a critical 10-pin connector for the front lighting system located in front of the air cleaner and behind the left headlight assembly. Don’t miss that one. Also be sure that the connectors to the ballast resistor mounted near the air cleaner housing are clean and tight.
ALL of the relays should be removed, the terminals wire-brushed until shiny, and the receptacles sprayed out with contact cleaner. Then plug them back in. I do this on every Renix Jeep I purchase or work on for someone else.
