We'll..
I got another hazard switch today and still have no turn signals. I have replaced the turn signal lever and put a new relay in. I also checked the light bulbs and they are 1157's. I found a ground under the dash above the fuse box and it is tight. This thing is really starting a piss me off. I'm thinking it's going back on jackstands til next year. I'm at a lose and there is no one around here to take it too. Any more suggestions? It's a 72 that I would like to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) right now! |

been dealing with turn signals on my 72 1.7..
flashers work, left side parking (ignition off) works, and no signals.. I decided to pull the steering wheel and inspect, found that one of the contacts on the flasher armature (there are two long copper connectors with two springs behind them) was mashed down, frozen and both springs behind it were disintegrated... trying to find two springs now.. I understand your pain... water is the enemy. no to figure out why the fresh air blower doesnt work... |

The fresh air blower will either be the contacts behind the control levers, they tend to break and/or corrode. Second check that the fan itself will actually turn - they fill up with leaves and can jam solid. With regards to the OP and the Indicator problem - I was having problem after problem with my indicators they worked (sometimes) until I got a brand new OE relay, since then it has worked 100%. Worth the expense. |
