No Front Turn Signals - Help

[Chris280Z]

I have no front drivers side directional and intermittent passenger front directional, the rears work fine hazard and turn. I took apart the hazard switch and cleaned it and all connectors with elec. contact cleaner. My car is a 72 with an 81 turbo motor with 77 electronics & dash. I also have a78z and pulled the flasher and switched them, same result. I cleaned the light switch on the column with cleaner also. When I put the multimeter in the bulb socket when the flasher is on the meter jumps from 0 to 6-8 volts. I think it's getting all but turing off and on quick for the meter. But the bulb doesn't light. Yet the same bulb lights fine when the parking lights are on. All I can think of at this point is a bad ground but why would the parking lights work fine? This is the last hurdle to get the car inspected. Please advise.

Thanks Chris

My best guess is the connectors on the passenger side inside kick panel.

Your right, it does sound like a bad ground but I would start there (pass. side)

Try the harness conectors at the small/sub harness between the center console and the main dash harness on the passenger side it runs across the trans hump to the fire wall, [assuming you are using the dash harness from the 77-Z you mentioned.Look for the nasty green corrosion.

good luck!!
