Troubles with Turn Signals 67 Barracuda
Just seeing this. Yes. My guess is almost certainly was a short. The flasher was clicking because power was going through it. it works like a self resetting circuit breaker - which is also probably why there was no fuse on them until the 70s.
The question then is where was short, and yes it might relate to the switch.
White wire is the power from the brake light switch. Step on the brake pedal and the white wire gets power. It is fused and the hazard flasher gets power from the same circuit.
Red wire is power from the turn signal flasher. It normally has power, and supplies the lamps when the switch is activated.
Here's my cheat for the 67 switch
Instrument panel turn indicators are turned on with the front turn signal lamps.
Those are the green and tan wires from cavity 1 and 3.
