'72 240Z rear blinkers not working

[Coochas]

Hi All,

First post here!  I did in fact look through many prior posts about my problem!

I went for my first state inspection today and realized none of the blinkers were working.  The hazards light up at all four corners normally.

When I got home I changed one of the fuses (although it looked fine) and since then the front directionals are working but still not rears.   The rear hazard lights are working as are the brake lights.

Is this likely a problem with the flashier unit that is located under the steering column covers?

THANKS!

 

BTW, I always wanted a Z-car when I was young and now I have a beautiful one!

It's most likely the turn signal switch.

Thanks Steve. 

I should note that the rear blinkers work normally if I have the brake pedal depressed.   So which fault would cause this and what should I replace????

There could be a cross connection issue, or it could still be the turn signal switch. This isn't something that is plug and play to fix. The good news is that if you have a friend who is good with using a multimeter and reading wiring diagrams, he could take that link I sent you and diagnose the issue.

I'll pull out the switch and have a look!
