I noticed it at lunch today. The blinker indicator in the dash would flash 4 or 5 times, then stop.
Coming home I tried the e-flashers. Same deal. Maybe 7 flashes then OUT. Try the left side, 2 flashes, right side 4 flashes.... then OUT. Now I get no flashes at all. Got a few honey do things to knockout this afternoon then I will start poking around. Figured I'd start with the fuse, then relay. Seeing how it is the flasher and the blinker, I will rule out the lever and such in the column. How do you test a relay anyway? Chime in with some thoughts. Thanks, Clark |

Yes, with one bulb load the relay should flash.

Yes, with one bulb load the relay should flash. Good News, Bad News, I guess... the relay worked on the bench. Using 49a I got a bulb to flash and of course the relay clicked. I know you said not to worry about the C terminal, but for giggles, I put the bulb connection on the C term and nothing happened. is that expected? Or maybe half of my relay is bad?
