Thread: No turn signals?

Tweet

Well, again, thanks for everyone's help. I braved the winter blast we have been having in Colorado the last 5 days and got into my no heat, no windows, roadster and went for a 5 mile cruise. Bitter cold. Halfway through the ride the signals started working.

Great. Only thing worse than an electrical problem is an intermittent electrical problem.

I'll work through it somehow...

Thank you for your time gentlemen.

I'd really like to have an LED indicator on the dash wired in parallel with the brake lights. I'm not fond of the pressure switch actuator on the '33 - already had one fail and very nearly got rear ended because of it....

Assuming you have normal type circuit the turn signals will either not work or blink either fast or slow depending on what went out.
I would think that you could wire an led across the brake light switch. I would have to draw a diagram first, I can do it my head though I've found that if I draw it out I make less mistakes. I might try that on the Mustang as the brake light switch is easily accessible.

This statement points me towards a loose connection, or a bad one, somewhere in those circuits. I think I would start at the flasher, disconnecting, cleaning, greasing, and work my way toward the extremities.
