When I was putting mine together originally (it was a basket case), and finally got to the lights, I wasted too much time trying to fix a directional issue because I was changing the flasher on the fuse block - WRONG!! - it was on the passenger side just above the courtesy lamp!
Just a thought...

I have been changing the falsher on the fuse box. Didn't know there was another. I have to try that one. Thank goodness for this forum and you guys. It is great to be able to pick each other's brains like this.

That is why I asked if you knew there were two of them
