mystery blinker problem

[71Nissan240Z]

i hope somene has a wire diagram for a 1971 zed.

Basically i used the stock fog lamp wire harness to install lights. Everything went fine.

My turn signals dont work.

Tested the switch-good

Tested the flasher on a bench-good

Checked continuity from the flasher to the fuse box-good

Fuse-good

Power to fuse-no power

Continuity from the fuse box to the wire harness plug under the hood-good

I tried applying 12v power to the circuit to energize it-no good

Im stumped. Maybe my diagnosing is flawed. Not sure. Im not an electrical engineer. Yet...

Did they work before you installed the lights?

Here's a link to a diagram - http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/wiringdiagrams/240z/1971_240z.gif

This should work for a 71: Hazard Switch ? Brake Light ? Turn Signal Circuit Analysis | Fiddling With Z Cars

Hazard switch bad. Thanks for the wire diagram.

They can be cleaned out. Contact Dave Irwin or me about it if you need someone to do it for you.

Cleaned the contacts reseated them and recessed the board a little further in to make up for the worn switch plus added a little grease. Alll is. Thanks guys
