TR4/4A yellow blinker light stays on all the time the shuts off when blinkers are used

hi everyone: classic wiring issue. I was "fixing" a few wiring issues behind the dash. naturally, after I was done, I created another problem.
The yellow blinker light on the instrument panel stays on all the time now. Until that is, I use a blinker... then it shuts off. doesn't matter if I turn left or right, the light shuts
off until the blinker is turned off then goes back to staying on all the time until the blinker is used again.

Any ideas? clearly i hooked something up wrong. no clue where to even start. my fat fingers have a hard time behind that dash. it's torture.
thanks!

Did you have the flasher disconnected? I can't think of anything at the bulb that would do that.

I think you answered your own question. I agree it's likely to be an incorrect connection. Just need to go through it carefully, connection by connection, and find where you have hooked up something wrong; I'm sure you'll find it. Do you have a copy of the wiring diagram?
