For some reason, the left blinkers no longer come on. I have check the bulbs and they are good. I replaced the fuses the other day and cleaned all the fuse holder contacts.
The right blinkers do come like normal. When I turn on the right blinkers, the relay works like it should. I removed the black relay cap and can see it operating properly. When I turn on the left blinkers, the relay does not work/move. The light filament in the bulbs are not on either. Is it possible for the relay to only work for one side of the car? I figured the relay either worked or didn't work. Attached are two photos of the relay internals. The one post with a "C" designation appears to have gotten hot at some point and wonder if may be the issue. Anyone know what the connectors are on the relay? C = 49 = 49a = 31 = Attached File(s)

Do the 4-ways work?
The relay is a single provider of power to the turnsignal bulbs for the left and right side. Only the turnsignal stalk determines which side will flash. |

Assume if they don't work, I have a short somewhere on the left side blinkers, correct? |

When I did the test of hooking a wire from the 49 position to the 49a position in the relay receptacle, only the right side lights up. Nothing on the left. So tells me there is a short on the left side blinkers somewhere? Or does that point to the turn signal stalk selector? |
