Electrical issues, Turn signal indicator Options

[80cap]

Ok here's the deal. Turn signals and hazard lights all work. I just replaced the pea lights in the tach. I have no voltage to the socket, When I checked the wire it goes to ground. Looking for someone with more undamaged brain cells for trouble shooting ideas.

I would like to piggy back on this thread.....'73 2.0 with normal light bulbs and when you use turn signals first flash or two bright and clear in chosen indicator, then both indicators will blink at the same time but at only half brightness. Has been like this for years and I have scrubbed every ground in the car. Any ideas welcome.....thank you!!

The tach turnsignal indicator lights flashing correctly then both flashing at 1/2 brightness is a failure of the secondary coil in the flasher.

See drawing below and notice the coil in the flasher relay in series with pin 49a. As turnsignal bulbs light up, the bulb current energizes this coil and closes the contact for pin K which powers the center tap of the 2 tach indicator bulbs.

As the flasher ages (40 years!) and the efficiency of the coil decreases, the contact does not close and both tach bulbs shine at 1/2 brightness.

You can replace the flasher relay with another OEM flasher and hope new flasher works, or keep the original flasher and rewire the tach indicators with a jumper pigtail shown below.
