Turn signals not working
Sorry for all the posts today, but I have encountered yet another problem. My 73 F-100's brake lights work, and so do the hazards. The indicators on the dash work for the hazards, but not the turn signals. Any ideas?

If you have the wiring diagram, ohm out your turn signal switch in the plug coming from the steering column. If the line shows continuity, then I would check further down the line (bulbs, connections). Also, sometimes the flasher can burn out. I usually see these burn out on the closed position, though, meaning that the lights would be on and not flashing. Swap hazard flasher with signal flasher and see if you get signals again.

Had a similar issue. Ended up being that the metal contact in the light bulb socket for my front turn signal was rusted out. If you check that and it's not the case though, 84espy has the right approach with pulling out the multimeter.
