79 c20 turn singals

[MEXICANKAMIKAZE]

so i have a 79 c20 and im having problems with the turn signals. whenever i pull the lever for left or right the front indicators work fine but the back lights trigger the hazards whenever i turn for left or right? any ideas? could it be blown out fuses or the actual lever itself

[Irish_Alley]

so when you turn on the left or right both sides light up on the rear almost like you have hazards on?

[MEXICANKAMIKAZE]

yes exactly what happens

[Irish_Alley]

i would think a ground but normally a bad ground will cause more problems than just one bulb screwing up. when you put the turn signals on do you have brake lights? how bout running lights?

[MEXICANKAMIKAZE]

yes my brakes still work when i have them on

[Captkaos]

You going to have to trace the wires something is getting crossed up.  What happens when you turn on the hazzards?

[MEXICANKAMIKAZE]

i just got the truck and the interior is awful and i cant figure out where the hazards button is

[Captkaos]

It should be on the passenger side of the steering column, behind and below the key.

[MEXICANKAMIKAZE]

yea i dont have a hazard botton

[Irish_Alley]

is there a hole in the column about 4 o'clock?

[Irish_Alley]

maybe here

[MEXICANKAMIKAZE]

forgot my password but are you pointing at where your screwdriver is?

[Irish_Alley]

nope the little knob on the side of the steering column that says "hazard" about in the 4 o'clock position

[MEXICANKAMIKAZE]

oh ok there is no hazard knob at all but there is a hole and i stuck a screw in there so i can function it and when i push it in i my turn signals completely stop working

[roundhouse]

A lot of this is run thru. The turn signal controller
The white doughnut looking deal the lever screws in

I'd replace that first
Its about $25 at any auto parts store

Next I'd replace the bulbs and double check the wiring
See if you're getting power to the light socket
