turn signals

hi all just rewired my 56 and wired my taillights and turn signals . i have taillights and brake lights, but no turn , is this because i havnt wired the front ones yet, i can even get em to come on but not flash ?? i have power to the flasher on both sides , i got a funny feelin i didnt hook somethin up or ground something maybe , is there just a taillight and turn signal wiring diagram anywhere ?

This is for a '56, but I believe that the general wiring is the same for other years.

Try hooking the fronts up. Some flasher units take more than one lamp to provide enough load to flash.

And if you have LED tail lights they don't have enough load to flash either unless you have a special flasher.

On my '74 Pinto, that's how I knew a bulb was out. No flash.
