Still curious why the turnsignal unless your car was changed to keep the starter from operating when key was off and that circuit had a convenient tie point.

Originally with the small jumper connecting that solenoid terminal to battery the prewar cars would crank but not start when key was off. Not a great idea and was changed for 42s when they went to the carb switch. Maybe someone retrofitted yours to work the same way.
