Chasing ground return

[Road Hog]

Howdy,
I've been chasing down a ground return from the right turn signal, and I was hoping someone out there might know where it lands. I have tracked it through the firewall which is where I lose it. It's green and yellow if that helps. TIA

That's not your ground.

what year?

71 I believe November build. I'm trying to use the original lead

Grounds go to the fender. Yellow and green goes to the turn signal and headlight switch.

Not in this case

There is a red/yellow power lead that goes to the turn signal and then on to the running light (grounded to the fender I grounded the green/yellow wire and the lights works. I'm just hoping to find where the green/yellow wire ends up

Pre 1972 GY wire is the power wire for your signal light.

Pre-72 late GY is signal light and RW is running light power, still grounds to the fender in both cases.

It sounds like someone along the way changed things, a common occurrence in the 55 world. I also soldiered a wire to each light then ran the ground wire to the body for a better ground.
