Top fender mounted turn signal issues

A-Body Bruce said
..my fender top signal lights are inop. I know that there is a special turn signal switch for the fender mounted signals as they run through the switch. .............................. In between the core support and the battery there are two bullet connectors disconnected. One is a black/with an orange tracer (female)...the other is a black/with a green tracer (male). Following the wires and removing the tape revealed that the wires were actually joined together further down. The wires are bare and one looks like it may have a diode in line. I taped them up and moved on. The wire/wires end up going to some kind of solenoid/switch with two multiple wire plug in's. I guess what I am trying to say is....I wonder if those aforementioned wires have anything to do with the fender mount signals.

There is only one signal switch.

I have never worked on a 74 (year of your Valiant?), but in my 69 Dart, I recall the top "turn indicators" were just wired in parallel to the lower lamps.

Bill is right in most cases. But "there is a trick."

I cannot remember the name? of the option. There was a "trick" option that was supposed to aid fuel economy. It was a vacuum switch and I think a relay, and I believe it was ONLY hooked to the left front fender indicator. Worked like a vacuum gauge. The more vacuum dropped, it turned on the left front fender lamp

Here we go, "Fuel Pacer"

The bad part is, I don't have any decent documentation/ wiring on this, if that is what you are up against.
