Electrical question. Turn signals.

[1969Black2002]

Here is my conundrum, my hazard button works and make all the right lights flash, but my blinkers do not work. The lights come on when I toggle the switch but they do not blink.

These are the wires beneath my dash

Are these for the radio?

I took out the center console, it was loose and I prefer how I looks without it.

Does anyone have any ideas what I could plug into where to get these puppies blinking?

the load or (more likely) it's wired up incorrectly. If you can borrow an OEM flasher and try it, that'll tell you if the problem is in the flasher, wiring or the turn signal switch itself.

You will also get this symptom if you have the turn signal wires reversed at the lamp housing.

Thanks I will try both of these options and see what happens.

I also note that in photos 2 and 3 above there is a ground wire disconnected (brown wire with ring connector). That would do it too.

OK. I will see what that does. I tried checking the connections, with no luck. I am going to try to check all the bulbs and if that doesn't work I will try getting another flasher unit.

Check to make sure connections inside the hazard switch itself are not broken. I had a weird symptom of hazards working but no turn signals and it turned out the switch itself was broken in pieces- just enough for the hazards to run but not for the turn signals to work.

Replaced the switch (I think I bought it from Blunttech) and now all is well.
