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. |

After these early posts, my turn signals were working...and now they have stopped. I'll start by checking the relay--any tips on how to test it?
I'm planning on upgrading to LEDs bulbs all around, so I know there is a different relay recommended--is there a way to wire things up to keep the original Emergency flasher working with the newer relays? This car would be best served to have emergency flashers in some way. |
