Ok guys, I've have issues with my blinkers ever since I got my '78 280z a couple months ago. I've searched and searched on this forum and others. Please nobody reply with "try using the search" because believe me I have... a lot. I know this is a relatively common problem and most threads seem to point toward the hazard switch as being the root problem. At first my hazards worked, but irregularly. Sometimes they came on sometimes not. I took apart the switch and cleaned everything and sanded the contacts. Now hazards work perfectly every time no matter what. Then I took apart the blinker switch and noticed some issues. To be safe I sent it and the combo switch to Dave (@Zs-ondabrain) to rebuild. He did a great job. When I hooked everything back up the turn signals didn't work at first but after tinkering around a little they all of a sudden started working properly. I don't know what I did, but they started working. They worked for a few days of driving, but then all of a sudden stopped working and hasn't worked since. I've replaced the flasher and checked fuses. All good. I used a multimeter to trace the wiring to see if everything had power that should. Ive exhausted all of my know how and I really need help from you guys. See pics for reference to the following: I have power at the connector when the signal lever is in the neutral/off position. When I push the lever up or down I lose power to the green wire. White wires still have no power. When I move the lever up or down that should complete a circuit to one of the white wires beside the green one, right? Instead it is loosing power completely. The copper contacts inside the turn signal are making contact when I move the lever so I'm pretty sure that isn't the issue. I'm at a loss at this point. Thanks in advance for any advice!
