New column, got electrical issues
Put in a used column that was rebuilt, now my front right turn signal doesn't work. It doesn't even flash, and no it isn't the bulb. The indicator in the cluster doesn't even illuminate anymore. Used to work fine. At a loss. No wiring has changed, the only thing I have done is plug in a half moon to straight connector from the column to the existing wiring.
Any ideas? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: New column, got electrical issues
Curious to hear the replies on this...as I am having the exact same issue. I went from a 3 speed manual to automatic column and everything seems to be working fine but the dash indicator light on the right side.

Re: New column, got electrical issues
If it worked before you changed the column and now it doesn't then it is probably the connector or the turn signal switch. I really don't remember if there were year to year variations of the steering column connector but this link should get you in the ball park. You can trace the wires on both sides of the connector. Backprobe for voltage on both sides of the connector and check the pins. A fused jumper would also verify the circut below the connector. Might also try posting this in the electrical section.

Re: New column, got electrical issues
Had the same problem with my left front, had worked before i put a tilt in.
Turned out i had pulled the wire out of the half moon part just enough that it would not make contact on the left front. Hope this helps
