    Hello, I just got my first Maverick about a week ago and I've been working on getting it ready for a state inspection. I had all the exterior lights working including the turn signals, but after removing the gauge cluster and replacing bulbs/cleaning copper traces now the turn signals don't work. They don't click or light up when the stalk is moved, but the bulbs still light up for park and running lights. The only other thing I did while the cluster was out was replace a missing bulb and bulb holder for the left turn signal indicator. Any tips on figuring this out will be appreciated.

    Is there a possibility the turn-sig flasher is gone south!

    :agreed: A small round object with 2 blades at right angles. About the size of a small pill bottle.
    On Pintos they are accessible through the glove box.

    Thanks for the help, a new flasher(the one by the gauge cluster) got the turn signals working. Now I need to locate the flasher for the hazard lights to see if a new flasher will fix them.
