More work today on this problem. Tested the purple wire from the fusebox, good continuity, so I put a jumper wire into the 2 flasher terminals, good power to the column connector now. Didn't hook it together to the column connector, kinda afraid to put constant 12V to the column and directional switch where there should be intermittent power through a flasher. So....sounds like the flasher is bad, but I take the known good flasher from the hazard and put into the blinkers...nothing. I put the old flasher (for incandescent bulbs) in and when testing the plug get a dim light on the tester. I'm stumped.
