Turn Signal Indicator Issue
Guys, quick question. Turn signals work fine, however, when left turn signal is going the the green directional indicator in the dash does not blink - right one works fine. As I said, both signals work outside the car - just the left dash indicator does not light up.
Any thoughts on the fix here? I imagine I have to rip the dash apart? Maybe not?

I have seen this exact problem many times in the past. You need to ensure the following: 1. the dash bulb is good. 2. the front or rear bulbs are good. I like to swap the bulbs with known good bulbs and place the suspected bad bulb in the known good bulb position. The last item would be the flasher. Good luck!

You just reach up under there and unplug the socket, replace the bulb and plug it back in. No need to remove the dash. Although, if it is a 79, its not hard to slide the dash out and replace the bulb.
