Reply to "Flashers / Turn Signal Don't Work... Any Electrical Experts?"

No real progress yet, but I thought I would take another look at things.

I am 100% convinced the problem is in the power feed to the flasher (Yellow wire to pin 49). While I can read 11.7 VDC on it (only in the second ignition detent - Ignition On?), I can not light a test light from it. I think it has a bad connection somewhere...

it could be in the flasher switch, but I don't think so, as the Hazard Switch is "downstream" of the Flasher itself. all flashing & turn signals work fine if I plumb (switched) power to the flasher unit.

In my notes on the car, I found that back in 2001, the previous owner had a repair... " Falshers Not Working - check out turn signal and and hazard system wiring found no power on yellow wire to flasher. repari power feed to flasher at fuse block. Recheck turn signal and hazard system - checkout OK"

So I think I am going to work backwards on that yellow wire, and see how they connected it up.

While I am at it, I will check my backup lights - they still don't work even with the lights on. So I need to look for that too. I like the idea of the B/U lights coming on whenever the car is in reverse, even of the running lights are off.

Thanks for getting me thinking about this again. I'll let you know as I learn more.
