Simple Blinker Question
on my '78, now and again when I use the blinker, it turns on and stays on.
(until I turn the blinker off of course)
So in stead of flashing, it just lights solid until I make my turn.
I'm sure it is a simple fix, but I'm at a loss when it comes to the electrical.
(I should have checked the fuse, but haven't yet - but this problem doesn't happen all the time - just more often now)
Any help would be appreciated!

Probably the flasher but on your 78 the flasher is in the fuse box along with the 4 way flasher. The 4 way is at the top left and the turn flasher is at the bottom right. You could just swap the 2 flashers and see if the problem goes to the 4 ways.(This flasher recommendation is providing both turn signals do the same thing -- no flashing sometimes--if its only 1 side then your problem will most likely be bulbs or grounds.)

and now that I think, about it, the 4 way does the same thing
Thanks for the info! I will take a look at them tomorrow!
