Turn signal dilemma!
When ever I push up or down on the turn signal NOTHING happens anymore...I can feel the click on the handle but no signal outside or in dash.
All the bulbs work and everything works inside/out when ever I pull the emergency flasher button...but not the left or right!
Help?

There should be a fuze for turn signals and, I think, brake lights. Emergency flashers are controlled by another fuze. Also, behind passenger dash there should be a turn signal flasher. Those would be the first two things I'd check. Have a wonnerful day, Bill
Was trying to type when other posts were being sent.
BTW, spell-check would be handy (Fuze??????)

ok I found the Turning signal flasher and it looks like an old gm part? not a round looking one on my car ???
It has 2 prongs and a plastic clip in the middle....it looks something like this:
Is there any way to test these things or just replace and see?
All I find for sale is the round looking ones...but mine looks like a unit plug with the two prongs aligned side by side 1inch apart....where can I find another like it? help?
By the way..did I took off the right part????
Thanks guys.

Not sure (actually, I have no idea whatsoever) what that thing is. It probably is an important part and I'd put it back. Googled it and came up with a vacuum tube!!! Anyway, the flasher should be round and in a bracket behind, low, right of the passenger dash panel. The emergency flasher should be also round, and located atop the fuse (sp?) panel. Now, all the above info applies specifically to a '74 but I've heard '73's are about the same. Have a great day, Bill

It's under the bottom edge of the dash to the right on the passenger side. Not up on the firewall side but on the inner side toward the passenger seat. Take your hand and run it along the inside edge of the dash and you should find it. If you're going to look, you'll have to stand on your head. DON'T REMOVE THE DASH just to locate this flasher! It's right there.

by the way, your tung-sol thingy is probably a key buzzer or seat belt warning buzzer.
