Title: turn signal issue?
Post by: slowchevy on September 08, 2009, 08:00:08 pm

ok i had turn signals then i didnt have any  all i did before losing them was unhook a trailer brake  set up  and i then noticed no turn signals  i dont know if i lost them before or after doing that  but all other lights work  brake lights and all but heres where i got confused my hazards work on the dash and the front  but not the rear  of the truck i switched out the silver fuse   for one out of a 73 and still didnt work my truck is a 78 4x4 any help would be nice thanks

do they not work at all or are they solid? did you mess with the trailer plug at the bumper. could it be a fuse i think they are separate from hazards

theres nothing they dont show anything even on the dash i got flashers in all 4 corners i checked the big round silver fuses i swaped them in and out and all  i had was hazards  only thing ive messed with was  the ground on the gas tank to get the gauge to work and i messsed with  the trailer brake box i  have under the steering wheel one of the wires touched but i dont know when the blinkers stoped working just noticed   i havent checked the little glasss fuses yet  could it be one of those  if you got any ideas would be  nice i cant think of what it could be  thanks for any help

the silver things are flashers not fuses. it should be a glass fuse tho
