I agree with you 100%. These old Cadillacs still are showing everyone that they are the Standard Of The World. Amazing machines in EVERY way.
Good news!! Today I finally had time to work on the 64. I did a continuity test and all the wires from the firewall to the socket were fine. This told me that the problem was under the dash. I found a black box at the base of the steering column that is connected to the turn signal lever. There are many wires coming out of this. I used electrical contact cleaner and the lights now all work and perform as they should. I was VERY lucky that this fixed my problem, and hope it might help others with a similar problem.
I will for sure let you know when I it get figured out. If you get yours fixed first,please share what found also. When I have time, I plan to trace the wiring all the way back until I find power, and fix it from there. See what happens, good luck with yours.
I have the exact same problem with the right front turn signal, all the other lights work the cornering light the top of fender orange indicator light, checked the bulb the ground etc. but haven't had much time lately to trouble shoot , I would be interested in the nature of your problem if you get it to work.
Questions:
Is the park light working? Or, is both front right park and turn signal light not working?
Have you supplied 12 volts directly to the turn signal (blue wire) contact and park light (white wire) contact on the light side connector to confirm it would if the connector had 12 volts?
I ask because you can resolve one problem and still have other problems. You need to confirm if you had 12 volts the lights would work.
Next: If your right rear turn signal works when signal lever is engaged I would think it would be something other than the switch. If both front and rear turn signal do not work I would think it would be the switch. Of course it could be a bad connection anywhere in the circuit but eliminate the easy stuff first and know what works and what doesn't.

I noticed this issue at the end of last summer/fall, but it seems to be getting worse as I have begun driving for the season again. When I drive the car and get everything good and warmed up, if I…Continue

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
