no flashers still with the heavy duty flasher.

 

There must be a short somewhere. Look at the wiring up under the rear bumper for po trailer rewire. Sometimes it's been done and re-done; I've seen three hack jobs all connected together and wrong.

.

 

I was also a little confused by the wires on the new sockets. I just held the new one next to the old one in the same configuration and and spliced to the corresponding wires, if that makes sense. They worked fine.

 

I'll have to wait till the weekend to have time.

 

you probably know this so forgive me if it sounds dumb but there are two flashers under the dash, one for hazards and one for the turn signals. IIRC the turn signal flasher fits into a square hole in the left side of the dash, in the area of the headlight switch, maybe just a little below it. I had a runaround with the two flashers, one would work for awhile then the other then they both worked for like 30 mins then both quit. Still not sure what I did to make them both work, unless changing out the sockets up front did it but they all work now and have for a month.

edit: this is a long shot but make sure the grey half moon shaped plug is plugged in under the dash, I believe its the one coming from the column , the tab that locks it together got broke somewhere down the line on mine and it came loose once, lost all blinkers etc.

 

thanks, I'll check the half moon connector tomorrow. I had to replace my turn signal switch so it got move around, but I might have kicked it loose. as for the flashers, they are dangling under the dash, they are no where near where they were meant to be. I think it is something in the dash. How do I unhook the speedo cable to take out the entire instrument panel? I can get everything unhooked and unfastened, but that.

 

Reach in behind the speedo. Grab the white plastic collar and while pushing it toward the housing press down on the front of the tang I am pointing to. When you feel move toward the cable , pull it out.

 

thanks for the help. I fought with it for about 45 minutes one day. I gave up on it. but I'll have to get it out to get all the flashers and light bulbs in the back of the instrument panel put back in. yay!!(sarcastically)
