[tonyhawk85]

hi im new to this site and just recently bought a 71 240z. i cant get the blinker lights to work. i ve checked the bulbs and they are good. some one told me it could be the flasher, so i replaced that but nothing and im not sure if the flasher that i had replaced is really for the blinkers,all i can tell you is that the flasher was located under the instrumental panel on the driver side right below and on the left to the steering wheel. please help me i dont want to take it to a shop, cuz i dont have the money. thanks

You might have swapped the Hazard flasher instead. The Z has two, one for the Hazards, one for the Turn Signals.

Also try wiggling your emergency flasher switch. All turn signal and brake wire run thru that switch (usually on the dash) to the right of the tach.

Also, the brakes run thru the blinker switch and are cancelled by the turn signal switch and diverted to the blinker module. If you have access to another turn signal for your Z, swap it out and see if that works.

I am the guy that rebuilds the turn signal and combo switches for all 240Z owners. If you think they need to be rebuilt, I can do this for ya. I charge $40 for servicing and rebuilding the pair. If you have any questions or would like the service, feel free to contact me at wolfin32z@yahoo.com

Here are some links for info...

This guy tried everything then finally sent his switches to me for repair. Check out post number 18, after he got them back.
