Turn Signals

Post by ghiaray »

I stored my 71 convert for 4 years. When I put it away everything worked. I took it out of storage, new battery, all front and all rear lights work, but no turn signals. I've checked the fuses.
Can anyone offer advice? I'm at a lost where to start

Any 4-ways? The same bulbs and most of the wiring are used for both functions, but the source of power to the flasher is selected by the hazard switch. If the 4-ways work, it's probably a bad connection at the fusebox or the part of the hazard switch that selects the power source is bad. If they don't, the first thing to rule out is the flasher itself. Take the white wire and the black/green/white wire off of the flasher and hook them together, then see if the t'signals will come on - of course they won't flash, but if they come on steady you'll know that the flasher must've been the problem.

Thanks
No 4-ways either.
I will check the flasher per your comments.
Thanks again, if you can think of anything else please post.
