Hi John,
One possibility for your blinkers not working would be the turn signal switch located in the steering column. Did they just stop working both left and right?
Regards,
Bob

Thank you for the reply Bob. As a matter of fact I just bought the car. When I got it I had to replace the flashers to get the four ways to work. But that is as fare as I got I really wanted other opinions befor I want further. I checked all the bulbs and there good. Thank you for the help.

So that't what that is for, the PO removed the alarm key on the side when he fiberglassed the front nose on my 74.

I noticed there is a flasher behind the passenger side dash and one near the fuse panel.

Not sure if this helps.

Thank you for the help. It helped me out. I found out that the light problem was due to the moisture getting into the switch. But I will see if there is a flasher under neeth the pasenger side dash thank you 74ken.
