Please Help... No Turn Signals
Hi everyone, I have got my bronco ready for the road except for the turn signals. I have replaced the turn signal flasher, hazard flasher and bulbs. The hazards,park and brake lights work but I have no turn signals 
. It appears I am not getting power to the turn signal flasher, the light blue wire coming in has no power with the key turned on. I have looked at the haynes wiring diagram and it just makes my head hurt. I am hoping one of you might be able to tell me what color wire I should be tracing or anything else I should be checking. I look forward to your replies so I can get this problem fixed and put the Bronco on the road. The truck is a 1981 Bronco XLT. 351M, C6.
Cheers

I am looking at my Haynes, "exterior lighting wiring diagram for 1980 and 1981 (1 of 3)".
In the lower middle of the page you should see a box that says turnsignal flasher. The lightblue feeds the turnsignal switch. What you need to check is the wire coming down into the flasher box on the diagram which is a purple/orange hash(hash means the wire has orange hash marks on it).
Follow the line up from the flasher box, and you will see this wire goes to the right and the left. Follow the line to the left till it ends. You will see it says 298 P-O-H. When the line ends like that, you need to jump up to the upper right hand corner of the same page. This is where it continues, just find the line with the 298 P-O-H. Follow this line across the top of the page to the left, and you will see it is fed by fuse F-15 in the fuse box.

Thanks alot, it turns out that my haynes manual shows the signal light fuse should be in a location that is not being used, so I had the fuse in the wrong spot. I moved it to the right spot and now everything works fine.
