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 |

Another turn of events...was running the engine and my grandson was in the car asking me to turn on the lights. I turned them on and thought that was kind of strange, the driver's side went up with a slight delay followed by another delay then the passenger side. Then about 30 seconds later, there starts smoke coming from the dash area. Oh crap...shut it down and disconnect the negative side of the battery.
I pulled the light switch and there was two wires (two into one, grey with red stripe and the other one red) with insulation burned away and touching at one point. What could have caused this, too much resistance on old wire, bad relay??? It would be nice to actually drive this but don't know where to go from here. Dave |
