If the grounds don't pan out, check that the turn signal circuit is completing
through the hazard switch. These sometime build up contact resistance through
the normally closed contacts for the turn signal circuit and it quits ( at
least one of mine did...).

Mike - I assume you are talking about the left side front marker light. I
just reinstalled mine (I painted the car). There was no ground wire
there. I installed the licence plate ground yesterday and took the area
down to bare metal then used dielectric grease to keep it rust free.
My flashers are not working at the moment but I have only reinstalled the
rear lights and have yet to reinstall the front bumper which houses the
front signal lights. (1980 LE). I assume the lack of a full load is
preventing the flashers from working.
