cjzeppy Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I have a '72 510 and I'm looking to find a new turn signal switch. My turn signals nor my high beams work, and that might be what is causing my problems. If anyone has one that would work for my car PM me. Thanks Chad Link to comment
420n620 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 have you tested all the fuses and soaked the fuse block in vinegar, good place to start. my Hi beams didn't work either, it turned out to be a bad connection at the fuse block. The terminal was corroded off. suppose to be 4 spade connectors made a jumper wire and connected it to where it goes ( on the underside of the fuse block ). now they work. this is a temp fix till I get a another male connector. Not sure if this will be your problem but got to do a process of elimination to find the problem. Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 The t/s switch is the least likely cause of t/s and high beams not working. I would test the circuits and find the cause before buying parts. Link to comment
cjzeppy Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've cleaned the fuse box and replaced all the fuses. My 4 ways work so that made me to believe that the turn signal switch is malfunctioning. Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 That's a poor conclusion. But go ahead and buy a switch if you want, it is a free country. If you are interested in learning and possibly saving some dough, read on. The T/S "not working" can have many causes. For example, the T/S flasher unit might be broken (even if the hazards work perfectly). The T/S "not working" can mean different things: * Specific bulb doesn't light up * One Side Flashes * Lamps Stuck On * Indicators Flash Slowly * Indicators Flash Too Quick * Indicators Do Not Flash See Turn Signal Testing for more info on troubleshooting to find the cause.

My flasher unit works. I switched the Turn signal flasher unit with the Hazard lights wiring and they operated correctly. If I want to be correct with my terms, then "my turn signal does not flash."

ggzilla Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Ah, kids ... you can't teach 'em anything. Hazard flasher has nothing to do with proving the t/s flasher is good or not good. I'll just leave now. Link to comment
420n620 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 sounds like zilla done w/ ya shit. :confused: did you check out the link he provided for you ? what have you done ? :yawn: Link to comment

I am a technician out of college, but I'm not a retard from wyotech. Didn't you read what I said? Let me clarify one more time so you will understand me... I took the flasher unit from the turn signal switch, and installed it into the Hazard wiring. This would check to see if the flasher unit was malfunctioning. When I pulled the lever the hazards lights operated, thus concluding that the flasher unit from the turn signals works perfectly fine. I will say this again, this is NOT a thread devoted to solving my problem. I am looking for a turn signal switch that will work with my car. Link to comment
