Need some help with my turn signals... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi everyone...

I'm working on a '72 Chevy C20. I have tried multiple searches on this but I can't find an answer...

My headlights, front running lights, side markers and flashers all work on my truck. But my turn signals do not. I haven't wired in the rear lights yet but that shouldn't be an issue, I should be able to get something out of the front blinkers. They should be lit up solid at least if only the front ones work, but there's nothing there. Hazards work just fine though. I took the column apart and cleaned all contacts in the turn signal switch. Not sure if there is an inline fuse somewhere or a fusible link. It only has one flasher "can" in the fuse block, unless there's supposed to be another one somewhere...

Any ideas would be helpful...

Thanks, Scott

there is supposed to be two flashers in the fuse box.

Two flashers, if your emergency flashers work, your missing the turn signal flasher. Move it over to the other spot and try again.

Yep, you guys were right. I didn't notice but there are two spots for flashers. My Haynes manual only showed one in the wiring diagram, so I thought one worked for all of them. It works perfectly. I just have to get a turn signal arm somewhere now...

Thanks
