help with turn signals
My 80 vette signals stopped working. They worked when I got the car and then stopped. I have working hazzards but when I try the signals they don't even light up. I have tilt steering and thought that could have started the problem but not sure if there might be something else before I try getting into the steering column which looks like a pain in the ****.
New developement. When I push on the brake pedal the brake lights do light up and then if I use my turn signal lever while I am pressing the brake it will turn off the corresponding brake light. Thats really weird to me. So I guess there is a good connection. Brake lights work and signal lever makes left or right brake light turn off but doesn't flash.
Thanks

There two different flashers. I believe the hazard flasher is attached to the fuse panel. The turn signal flasher could be inside the console or behind the glove box. Not sure on that.

Well, I figured it out with your help. Took out the flashers and tested them both with the hazzard switch. They both worked so I checked the connection and it was just a loose connection. Now they work great. Thanks again, I didn't know where to start. So glad I didn't have to mess with the steering column.
