Right turn signal and hazard blows the fuse every time.
Specifics: Ignition OFF: parking lights all work; turn sig lever right-right parking/running lights come on; same thing left. Shouldn't do this with the ignition off--huh? Ignition ON; Turn signal left works fine; turn signal right blows fuse; hazard light switch ON blows fuse. Year model '74. I've spent a lot of time chasing wires and sorting as per wiring diagram. I probably have a wire crossed somewhere. A lot of you have a lot more experience than I do--any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! Tom |

Have you done any work on the car lately? May have bumped something. Check there first.
To chase your short: 1) disconnect battery. 2) Put your voltmeter on resistance and connect from load side of fuse to ground. If you have a short, it should be noticeable now. 3) Remove front, then rear signal bulbs. Check for change in resistance. You're looking for the resistance to go from a few ohms to greater than 5-10 ohms. Once you find the short, the voltmeter will read more resistance than when you started. Keep in mind that the resistance of the bulbs will only be a few ohms so the difference between a short and correct operation may only be a few ohms. Spoke |
