HELP: Headlight switch triggering STARTER!!!
All instrument lamps now working/dimming EXCEPT for the turn signals... not even getting a click... if i pull the hazards they go on/click... I'm assuming this may be an issue with the switch in the steering column and not something easier... booooo
any advice welcome as always
You do know? there are two flashers? One for hazards, one for turn. I would be right at the turn signal column connector with a diagram
Here are your basic inputs and outputs in/out of the "black box" that is the turn switch
INPUTS
Hazard flasher in, hot at all times
Turn flasher in, hot only with key "in run"
Switched brake power in, hot with brake pedal depressed
OUTPUTS
Left front turn and indicator(s) (cluster, fender, hood, etc)
Right front turn and indicator(s)
Left rear turn (and stop)
Right rear turn (and stop)
Just get your wiring diagram, draw out the connector, and the colors, and get a light and meter and go to work Get a probe "rigged" so you can probe the connector without separating it
If something doesn't work, such as stop lights or one side try wiggling the hazard switch "Stuff" goes through the hazard section of the TS switch, and I've seen more than one fail. "Back in the day" I "fixed" (that is temporarily "red neck") 2 or 3 TS switches which had no stop lamp function. I rerouted a couple of wires in the TS switch and resoldered them. The hazard function was disabled. Don't ask me how, that was in the '70's
