Don't know what to tell You all,but I just checked both my Mavericks and a 73 that's just up the street from me and all of them have side markers that "BLINK" with the turn signals,it don't matter if the head lights are on or off the "BLINK" is still in unison,I never "REWIRED" anything and niether did He! Come on now that's 4 Mavericks i checked and they all "BLINK" there side markers with the turn signals,and the emergency flashers,let's see where this goes! All the cars were made in Kansas City,(maybe a clue)
: They don't blink as they are wired at the factory...but you can rewite them like I did,through the turn signal circuit and they WILL blink...the side markers will be on when the turn signals are off and vice-versa when the headlights/parking lights are on...and blink in unison with the turn signals when the headlights/parking lights are off. They will function normally as marker lights when the turn signals are shut off.
: Never could figure out why Ford didn't just wire them this way to begin with...
