Default Turn Signals suddenly not working

Just got back home and tried to find some troubleshooting info on turn signals in the old Chilton book, but nothing but wiring diagrams.

So, is it a flasher? A bulb?

Here's the scenario: With the lever in either position, I get no lights inside or out.

Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Roger :cheers:

First, check the fuses. I believe my 69 has a seperate fuse for directional signals. Look at them all though. If all of the fuses are ok then replace the flasher. :chevy

You might want to check the connector at the base of the steering column. If you kicked it or it somehow came loose you might not have the connections to tell the turn signals to come on. A long shot but it might be the problem.

Doesn't sound like a bulb. When part of the bulb goes the inside indicator light does not flash and stays in the on position. The outside bulb does the same.

Check what Silvervetteman and Vettefixr said.

Thanks for the input on this guys. It was a blown fuse after all.
:cheers:
Now whose idea was it to put the fusebox down THERE?
