Shouldn't the turn signals be a 1156 single post bulb. The 1157 would be for the brake/tailight

yes, single filement 1156. if you put a 1157 in that socket the tach dies when you step on the brake pedal or apply the e-brake. weird back feed...

I cleaned that ground up and put the interior bulb in and pulled the hazard switch and it didn't blow the fuse. So I put all the bulbs back in and pulled the hazard switch but the lights still won't work. the hazard switch doesn't blink or click. I started it to see if my turn signals would work but they don't either.



Remove the bulbs, turn on the hazzard switch. Then installed the bulbs one at a time and see if they blink or if it blows the fuse.

Try reseating all the connectors into the signal houseings. Make sure the wire lead clips are makeing contact where they should. I had an issue with mine doing something simular. The one contact wanted to wander once I went to put the rubber boot back on. Good luck.

Try this if you can find the flasher relay check for the following pin#31 should be
grounded,pin#49 should have +12 volts on it when the 4way is pull out. I will guess that pin #31 has a bad ground wire on it, that ground is located under the dash by the fuse panel. Pin31 has a red wire on it, pin49 has a brown wire on it.

Terminal #49 on 4way switch has the Red wire going to the flasher, terminal #30
on switch gets it power from fuse#11.

Ok,


I went and got 2 1156's for the front. I rechecked all my connections to make sure they were good. I took all the bulbs out. With the hazard switch on I put the bulbs back in one by one and never got any lights or the hazard switch to light up or click. I also checked the volts at both the switch and the relay and I get 12v. Since I tightened the ground I don't blow any fuses but now I don't get anything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I did notice that if I wiggle the relay it will click sometimes.

Sounds like you have a bad relay, check this first. With the key off, turn on the left
turn signal= parking lights should be on the left side. Now do the same with the right turn signal=parking lights on right side should be lit. Now turn on the key with
the EM brake handle pull up, the brake lamp should flash on the gauge. If it doesn't
you have a bad turn signal relay.

with the key off and the left turn signal on my left turn signal lights up. With the right turn signal on my right marker light is on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I would think they would be the same but they are not. With the key on and the EM brake up I have a solid red light and solid green light. no flashing light. I'm guessing I need to try a new relay?

Goto a AAP store and get EP-26 flasher, a lot cheaper the one thing you will
loose if you have a bulb burn out the turn signal lamp will not stay steady.

EP-26 2-6 lamps flasher

I think I found one at O'Reillys. This one is a Buss 726 heavy duty electronic flasher. It has the same ends on it and it is for a 12v system. This should work right?

The new relay didn't work. I still have something that puzzles me. With the key off, with the left turn signal on, the left turn signal bulb lights up. with the right turn signal on, the right marker light lights up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

That is "normal". It should do that. That is the european parking feature. Key off, or not in at all, with switch turned left, left front/rear ts lights should be on. Same for the right.

With the key off left turn signal on, Both front and rear should light. Thia is also true for the right turn signal. I would correct the wiring mistake first, With the key
on turn on your parking lights and made sure the correct bulbs light up. Sound like you have a wiring problem in your light circuit.

who knows, I'm going to look at it more tonight and see if I can find anything. I have no mechanics around here that can work on this. I am on my own here. I'm learning alot more but seems i'm going backwards instead of forwards on this one.

The best way is to move down the circuit one step at a time. Check if there's power down at the flasher with the key on..

been dealing with turn signals on my 72 1.7..

flashers work, left side parking (ignition off) works, and no signals..

I decided to pull the steering wheel and inspect, found that one of the contacts on the flasher armature (there are two long copper connectors with two springs behind them) was mashed down, frozen and both springs behind it were disintegrated... trying to find two springs now.. I understand your pain...

water is the enemy.

no to figure out why the fresh air blower doesnt work...
