'68 turn signal problem - what to do next?
Hello,
When the turn signal on my '68 suddenly stopped working, I though, it would be an easy fix. Just replace the flasher in the fuse box and I'm done. As it did not solve the problem, I decided to replace the turn signal switch assembly, as the turn signal switch was kind of lose and the hazard light switch **** was broken. When I did that and put new switch & wiring, to my dissapointment, the turn signal did not start working... Hazard lights are working fine.
Anyhow, if I place turn signal **** into "left" or "right" position and then press the brake pedal, only one side brake light goes on - the side, to which the turn signal **** is switched.
Any ideas, where to go next??? Many thanks in advance for helping me out

Thanks, I doublechecked this one, as I was assembling the steering column after turn signal switch change. Now I will look at 4 lights in the back, if grounding is ok.

The turn signal flasher relay is not located in the fuse box. It's located under the cig. lighter in early 68's and behind the pass. dash on later models. You replaced the hazards relay.
