Turn Signals

In my 72 the blinker works fine one way, but you have to find that "magic spot" to get the other way to blink. The light will come on-dash, front, and rear, but thats all. It's a floor shift. What do I need to buy to get rid of this. I don't have time to tear it apart to see what's going on, as the truck is at my parents house,a four hour drive from where I'm stationed at, and only have limited time to work on it on long weekends when I can get home. I know this is a post for the electrical dept., but I dont have the time to wade through that mess.

Re: Turn Signals

It's an easy fix. New turn signal cams are usually in the "Help" section of the auto parts store. You'll need a steering wheel puller. Takes like a half hour...

Re: Turn Signals

Thanks, George. I can probably handle it. My truck is stored in Nebraska at my parents house for the winter, anyway.
