Update on turn signal issues; much better, but just ONE issue

[usafdarkhorse]

I've had my 75 Z for 6 months now and the entire time I've not had turn signals ( like my 76 Z before ) and it KILLED ME. So this weekend I decided to tackle the issue.

Here were my symptoms before:

All hazards except front right blink, no turn signals at all. Every parking light is lit.

I ended up taking apart the hazard switch and cleaning it, purchasing a newer generic flasher relay, and taking apart the turn signal switch and cleaning it. I followed a few helpful threads here and got some good advice toward the likely candidates that might be causing my problems.

Afterward, my symptoms were these:

All hazards except front right blink, all turn signals except front right blink. Every parking light is lit. Seeing a connection here?

Anyway, everything is MUCH better now, but I still cannot manage to get my right blinker to flash. I didn't think the bulb was bad, but I changed it out anyway ( no telling how old it was ) and it was still a no-go. Keep in mind that my front right PARKING light is fine, but the actual FLASHING is not. It will go out when I turn on the hazard switch.

Anyone have any idea about how I can negotiate a legal right hand turn?

Locations of grounds and important items through the circuit would be immensely helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Either bulb/socket connection is bad, or the wiring to the front right bulb is bad. That would knock out your righthand turn signal flasher (i.e. so that the right rear bulb would glow constantly and not flash). At the same time, you hazards would probably flash all around, except of course for the right front.

Ironically, my right rear bulb blinks! I've read a few threads here where if a bulb is out on one side, the bulb that is not blown stays lit constantly.

When the hazards flash, the front right doesn't blink then either. An another forum, some mentioned that the turn signal wires lead to a box just behind the glove box. Any idea? Would love to finally tackle this issue.

I've got an intercooler in the way blocking my view of where the wire harness goes.

Save yourself some time, you may have a simple bad connector.

Go to the front right of the car, remove the connector going TO the quarter light, then do a continuity check on the three wires going to it. The colors for the wire on the car's side of the connection are GB-Green/Black; GL-Green/Blue and B-Black. Check continuity between the B wire and the other two. Both should get a tone.

If they do not, then you have one bad connection going to the bulb housing.

While this is the bass-ackwards way of checking for a light out, it's because often you can't see how good a connection one of the solder poles on the bulb is making because the other solder pole has bottomed out... until you check upstream electrically.

You've then checked the bulb and it's connections.

What about your right turn dash indicator, does it stay on continuously or does it flash as it should? Does it flash at all? If this is the case, then check your wiring at the Hazard Switch.

FWIW
