hey everybody, my 1975 280z was having a problem where only the left turn signal worked. then, all of the sudden about a week ago, it stopped working and now the right signal works. anyone have an idea on what is going on? should i take the steering wheel off and do some cleanup and hope that works? cuz im not so confident in my electrical skills so any input is appreciated

maybe your T/S switch?? disassemble it and clean the connectors (but make sure you don't lose any pieces...) also check to see if the little tab inside is bent properly

Jerrod, listen to Jason. He's a pro at this by now . jk

no kidd'n, huh!! and also check to make sure that everything is plugged in to the right plugs.... BEFORE you spend $200+ on diagnostics...

Got the Z back from the body shop and the left turn signal doesn't flash. The right works fine. I noticed that the left signal arrow lights up but doesn't flash. Right arrow lights up & flashes. Ideas?

Bulb (Ten Charecters)

Bulbs seem OK........

"Seem" OK? What does that mean? Have you moved the one that doesn't light to another location and confirmed that it CAN light? You can't judge by looks.

Other possible causes for a "functional" bulb not "functioning" can be corrosion, bad or missing grounds, broken wires, or bad switch.

They light up. Left side is just not flashing.

Most likely a bad T/S Switch then. You can try to disassemble and clean it, but usually it won't stay "fixed". New ones (if still available) are not cheap.

Thanks Carl.

Both VB & MSA list replacement T/S switches for $99-$117. Has anybody here ordered one of these? How did work out? I think mine is pretty worn & mushy in addition to the left turn signal not working.
