Im sorry if this is posted already but can't seem to find it. I have a 74 2.0. My front turn signals come on solid with the turn signal switch, but do not flash. The emergency flashers do not work at all. I checked and rechecked wire positioning on the emergency switch and even swapped switches. I purchased and installed a new flasher relay.. After I installed it they flashed a couple times and blew two fuses. I believe they are positions 8 and 10. If i put 12volts on the output side of position 10 on the fuse block the relay under the passenger seat clicks a few times and then trips my test probe. I've also checked and re checked light wiring at all 4 corners. Is there something else I should be looking for ? any help would be appreciated.

Because the fuse is blowing when you turn on the ignition and before you turn on any turn signals (fuse 9) then you can look for a short to ground BEFORE or at the turn signals or relay. This means the short is not at one of the lamp sockets. Kinda cuts the job in half.
The watch out is if there are more than one short. It is possible to fix one and then be fooled by the other. |
