72 Turn/Reverse Light problem
All, looking for some quick help with my 72. I lost all my turn signals, and my reverse back up lights. The turn blinker lights on the dash do not work either. I thought it might be the switch in the steering column, but with the reverse lights not working either wonder what else it would be. Thanks!

Is there a diagram for the fuses? Are the only fuses under the driver's side? Also, all lights work including dash turn blinker with the hazards on.

Update. I checked the fuses and only the radio fuse was bad, replaced it and no change. The turn signal/back up fuse appeared to be good but replaced it too. Still no revers lights or turn signals. Also, I looked under the passenger dash for the turn signal flasher and could not find it. Any ideas?
Also, now my hazards do not work!

Ok, I have fixed all the issues except the back up lights. Are the back up lights connected to a specific fuse in addition to the transmission? Will get it on a lift this week to find the plug in the tranny. If a specific fuse would like to know.

Is it a manual or automatic?

The dash bulb for the flasher is powered up by the dark blue and light blue wires at the turn signal switch. If you look two spots to the left of H in the picture below you'll see them.. they are double wires so it's hard to miss when testing.
You might check the large connector at the bottom of the steering column and make sure it is snapped in there good.
