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 |

There was a great write up on the flasher relay itself. It is my understanding is there are actually two windings there. It needs a load for the other winding to work.
I wish I could find it as my 73 had a similar problem. I wish I could find that write up and also a current diagram for the 73 as the 74 are different. Having a contact, ground or bulb problem can cause issues. |
