Default Blinkers not working.

So I’ve use a tester to see if all my fuses are good and running and they all are(including my flasher). I also just did new wiring on my front lamp harness but my turn signals still don’t work. I changed my blinker switch, brand new.
My hazard lights flash very good.


This blue wire is what I think the problem is. It’s disconnected and I can’t repair it to even see if it’s the problem.


This is the harness to from the lever. Used the light tester on it and there’s no power at all to any of the wires.




And if this is the source of my blinker problem I cannot for the life of me find the part to order online I’ve tried searching for “Turn signal lever, “turn signal wire harness”, “blinker wire harness” but all I seem to find is the blinker switch that I’ve already replaced.



Here’s a better picture of the broken blue wire.



again all that comes up online for turn “signal lever” is the actual lever.. I can’t find the damn wires to replace.

I'm willing to help you as much as you are willing to help yourself...I wasn't raised in a time when everyone got a trophy...
But I will say, You did a good job on the front harness!
Now it's going to be, and you can correct me if I'm wrong "It's like seeing alphabet letters in a math problem" moment.
And you thought this was going to be simple...
Here is what I would like you to do.
Go to this link copy and paste the diagram into MS paint or whatever photo viewer you use and save it.
Study the colors of the wiring in that 4 wire connector you posted and then find that connector in the drawing. Where does that broken DK BLU wire go? Here is your 1 lifeline...Look for circuit #94

You have 0 lifelines available and you can't call a friend...
Is that a tilt column or a standard column?

I THINK I FOUND THE RIGHT ONE SIR!

But don’t you think the connector is too long at the bottom?




Just reassembled my column.. now I have to disassemble it again..but even more than before and that column was intimidating to disassemble too.

See the square box and the numbers inside? lets choose a different number, lets say 92.
91 & 92 & 150 are all related to the same device. Follow 92
You have to understand these drawings, you have been dealt a bad hand my friend....

When you select left or right does the arrow in the speedometer or tachometer light up but does not flash?

Did your turn signals ever work as long as you have owned the car?

Precisely.



Actually now as soon as I pull back my headlight lever both arrows are just lit green. No flashing. The lever can be in the middle of left and right and still the lights will both be lit up all the time.

Are you talking about the headlight switch or the wiper/washer turn signal lever?

Yep, do you know where that flasher is located?
There is a metal spring clamp holding it in and is behind your passenger side map pocket. The Relay may look like this.
Circuit #16 is that purple wire.....
It is a standard flasher relay #224
