    Help my signal lights dont work, and I can't find the signal flasher. I found the hazzard flasher, but no signal one? Where is it?

    Rod, the flasher is located under the dash to the left side of the steering column. It hangs off the wire harness attached to a socket. You should also check the #6 fuse. The turn signal and backup lite are on the same fuse. #6 fuse is a 15 amp and is located in the upper right corner of the fuse block for 70-75 models. 76-77 location is 2nd from the top on left side.

    I was told that there where two seperate flashers. One for the hazzard lights and one for the signal lights. If that is true, then I found the one for the hazzard lights on the left of the column. Then where is the one for the signal lights? I checked the switch on the steering column, and it "looks" ok. What else is there?


    Thanks
    Rod

    Its's still in that area. Look near the emergency brake tube just above bottom lip of dash. Unless some one removed it.
    Did you check the fuse?

    The second flasher unit (mine was light blue in color) is usually behind the speedometer unit. Taking out the unit is quite easy with a 70-72 model as the plastic tray under the dash comes out quite easily so as to reach up and disconnect the speedo cable to take out the whole unit. On later models the tray is not there so you just have to reach up the best you can. When the speedo unit is out you can also access the heater controls without popping the unit out from the dash, so if you need to change any burnt out lights bulbs in the dash you can do it at this time.
