Im sorry if this is posted already but can't seem to find it. I have a 74 2.0. My front turn signals come on solid with the turn signal switch, but do not flash. The emergency flashers do not work at all. I checked and rechecked wire positioning on the emergency switch and even swapped switches. I purchased and installed a new flasher relay.. After I installed it they flashed a couple times and blew two fuses. I believe they are positions 8 and 10. If i put 12volts on the output side of position 10 on the fuse block the relay under the passenger seat clicks a few times and then trips my test probe. I've also checked and re checked light wiring at all 4 corners. Is there something else I should be looking for ? any help would be appreciated.

Finally found the issue the other day! Long story short,I found two problems. PO changed the ground wire to a black on one of the front turn signals and traced the wire from the flasher switch that was grounding out to the flasher relay. Purchased another one and all the lights started working like they should. Thanks for all the help!
