Checked the fuses, and and replaced the bulbs.
Any suggestions? The wire colors are hard to see, since the Po had the trunk painted and didn't cover the wires.....

Put your arm outside and point it up means right turn. Point you arm straight out means left turn. Point your arm down means slow down and stop. Hope this helps.
Cheers, Elliot

I had the same problem. Turns out that the contacts for the left and right signals inside the sterring column mechanism wore out and could no longer make a good contact. I could not repair them directly, so I jumpered the turn signal cotnacts to the marker light contacts, which are right next to the turn signal contacts, and cut the wires to the marker lights.

The turn signals work now using the contacts intended for the marker lights. However, I can not light up the marker lights any more, but that is not a problem for me.

Could it be the relay? Fixed my problems
Turn signal relay thread
Did they work and then stop, or never work?
