New to me

Starting to sort out some things.

First up- turn signals.

The fuse box is missing it's cover, but the second fuse from the far right is missing...and adding one in immediately shorts.

So I pulled the flasher (as recommended on Rennlist before I found you guys!) And tested continutiy between #49 and left and right...nothing. The flasher isnte working.

Then I noticed a newer/modern looking relay hanging out behind the fuse panel...it's operating the turn signals. My suppostionn is that they have bypassed emergency flasher?

I got the turn signals working with cleaning the bulb sockets and using a little dilectic grease.

Id love to get the emergency flashers operating...has anyone else elese had anything like this?

Thanks in advance.

This should be the stock wiring for a 70-73 turn signal/hazard light circuit if you're curious.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-18880-1562970915.1.jpg)

The fuse 2nd from the right, fuse #11 (that you said immediately blows) has only a few different purposes. One of them is it goes directly to terminal 30 on the 4 way flasher switch in that diagram, it functions as the always-on power that allows the hazards to work even with the key off.

That same fuse also feeds the interior light, and it looks like the warning buzzer under the passenger seat.

Probably the easiest one to check would be to remove the passenger seat and see how nasty it looks under there, or if any wires have come loose and are grounding out under the seat.
