Re: Turn signal issue.

Signal issue resolved.
I separated the bulk head connector 'again' for a closer inspection. Found it was filled with a tar like substance. Looks like factory and I 'assume' it was intended to prevent water from getting to the pins. I decided to clean this substance out so I could see and inspect the pins. As I was cleaning I found a single strand of wire shorting a couple of the pins together. This wire strand was inbedded in the tar like substance, so it was invisible until i removed some of the tar. What a PITA trying to clean that stuff out of the connector. Lacquer Thinner was the only thing I had that would dissolve the stuff.
I reconnected the connector to the fire wall shell. My problem was solved.
I hope my experience helps someone out there with a similar issue.
Thanks for everyone's feedback.
