Top fender mounted turn signal issues

You have no idea how much this thread just saved my ***. I kept thinking there was some electrical sorcery built into my duster and had planned to tear into the dash to find a short in the fender signal light somewhere.

Couldn't for the life of me figure out why the Duster fender signal kept turning on at half throttle cruising. Of all the things that still need fixing on my Duster, why does my fuel pacer magically still work after all these years? Why couldn't the windshield gasket still seal and the fuel pacer fail instead?
