Yes checked several times with test light and digital meter. The new switch rings out the same as old one. The switches go bad because Ford did not upgrade them for the Cougar and the Cougar has 4 light flashing instead of the normal 2 and they melt.. I went to the flashers and checked there. If I could find out where the source of power is supposed to be then I could go there. I have been playing with this all total probably better than 16 hrs. Every one I talk to says "The book says its fused in the fuse box" that just is not right. The 69 was fused in the fuse box but not the 70.
