Blinker Help

Right blinker works fine including dash light. Left blinker is dead. Running lights work fine. Where to go from here? Thanks

Start checking at the harmonica connector under the column to be sure the "juice" is getting through the turn signal switch.

edit- check the Lt blue double wire- thats the left front signal and the left front dash indicator

the Dk blue double is the right side

getting power to left side, blinker lights light up when turn signal lever down but no blink action. Is there a blinker switch for each side?

Bad bulb or poor ground.

(When you said above left blinker was dead I thought you meant not even a dash indicator light.)

I had a bad ground on my driver rear light that drove me mad. The blinkers would flash left and then flash right. Grounds can be baffeling.

Glad your off the blink! For future reference...if the dash light remains on but does not blink when engaged....nine out of ten times its a bulb.
