I'm having an issue with the turn signals...They don't work. The emergency flashers work fine. The parking brake light works fine as well. I mention that because my understanding is it uses the same flasher relay. I took the turn signal switch out of the column and tested it on the bench and it shows proper continuity for left and right. No shorts, No blown fuses. At this point I'm stumped. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Any thoughts on where to go from here? This is a '74 completely stock wiring nothing has be molested.

The bulb in the front bucket has two filaments in it. One comes on with the parking light, and is tied to the side-marker light (the "wart" on the front fender). The other is the turn signal. If you use a single-filament bulb in this socket, weird stuff will happen.
The switch is one of the primary suspects in this case. The hazard lights and the "engine off side marking lights" feature use different parts of the turn signal switch than the turn signals proper do. The wiring would also be a suspect. --DD |
