    Today I tried to figure out why the turn signals don't work. Hazards work fine so I think it is the turn signal switch.

    Is Auto Krafters the only place to get one or could I find it at a parts store?

    Anyways wanted to open up the column just to make sure it wasn't something obvious and easy to fix before I ordered one. I realized I had no idea how to remove the steering wheel and did a quick forum search. I realized that I need a wheel puller tool so I decided to call it a day. I'll pick one up on Monday and see happens.

    There are 2 flashers, one for the hazzards, and one for the signals. Just incase you didn't know. Check the tailight sockets, make sure they are grounding good.

    Completed the trunk wire harness. Yanked all the interior and front clip harness out. Clipped all the ends of the wires so i know whats what. Going to start working on layout and schematics. Also trying to figure out how i am going to run stuff to the trunk. I think im going to battery and solenoid in trunk. I can get any amount or any size wire i need.

    In life its not what you know its who ;)

    Thanks, I just replaced the flasher. The seller had one that he had never installed to try to fix it. It was a pain to get to but once again the forum came through. Unfortunately, still no turn signals. I am not getting any lights at all, interior or exterior with the turn signals. Again, the hazard lights work great front and back. Anything else to try before I order the signal switch?

    Thanks again

    Does the flasher tin thing click when the blinkers are on? Does frony or back work only or neither?

    Also there are two of those tin things. One controls flashers and on controls blinkrrs for both front and back. Have you replaced both or just one of the circle tin units?

    I replaced the flasher for the turn signals. The other one I can hear clicking when the hazards are engaged. So hazards work front and back, brake lights work, all 4 side marker lights work. When I engage the turn signals, nothing at all happens.

    Try swapping them to see if the other one you hear clicking from is faulty. If ita not then i would look into the turn signal switch located in the steering column.

    When did you notice that theyre not working? Was it after you shut the car off? or was it during driving? Last is the car running when you try to engage the turn signals? Hazards have a constant 12v so when the car is off theyll still work.

    Give me a call 509.939.6674 if you have any questions or have any problems. Its a lot easier to speak than yxt through my phone. Name is levi. Look forward to hearing from you

    Is the cat turned on? If so i.would look in to replacing the turn signal switch inside the steering column.

    Just got home from the drags. Worked on the front lights wire harness. Going to finish tomorrow and start working on rest tomorrow. Still need to illustrate schematics for front.
