My headlights won't come on, the high beam dash light comes on when i hit the headlight switch, and when i leave the headlight switch on and use the turn signals, the signal speed is quicker. Turn off the switch with the turn signal still on and the signals speed slows to normal. Recently, when signaling a left turn, the right side dash signal indicator will blink alternately. I have had some water leakage into the fuse area, i think from the antenna, and the grounds look corroded. I'll start there. Just fishing for anyone with similar symptoms. Also, sometimes the ignition switch goes blank, two or three attempts and then kicks in. I thought i found that problem in a weak connection at the battery, but wondering if it is the switch going bad.

I'd suspect a ground connection because it changes when other lights are turned on.

Thanks, simple fix, ground connector corrosion, replaced and all is working. Marine caulk on the antenna hoping to stop corrosion causing leak, thanks again.
