I'm just about an idiot when it comes to electrical. Is there a simple cure for my lack of turn signals on my 73? And before you say look at the electrical diagram....forget it. Too small for my old eyes to read much less figure out.
They use to work, but over time don't anymore. Is there a ground up front for them, relay went bad, fuse. What is a common thing that I might be able to fix? Any help would be welcome. Dave |

The 3 wires are the ones to the headlight motor. Don't know if suppose to have constant power without the headlight switch on but the green and red wires do, both sides. Normal?
Also, the master cylinder only has one connection for a ground not two like the old one. One is just loose, do both need to be grounded? Did get partial signals to come on, driver side is brighter while the passenger side is very dim. Any suggested solutions? Dave |
