Turn Signal Problem

3736 Views 6 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Shakespr
Folks,
This is my first time on Chevytalk.com . . . I need some help on an electrical problem and would appreciate some aid.

Car's a '71 Chevelle. I had a short on my tail light harness . . . fixed that, and ever since, my turn signals don't blink, they just stay solid. I replaced the flasher unit on the fuse panel under the dash, and all the fuses and bulbs work fine. The hazards operate correctly, as do the brake lights. But the turn signals don't. Even the in-dash indicators stay solid on a turn signal!

I've heard there may be a second flasher unit, but I can't find one anywhere under the dash.

I even disconnected the tail light harness . . . makes no difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Elree,

Thanks for the diagram!

So I replace the thing that the wiring connection connects to, right?

Hope I can find this thing!

SUCCESS! Got the flashers working. Many thanks to everyone, especially Elree with that diagram! Found the OTHER flasher unit above the steering column, slightly to the right of the column, way up behind a wiring harness. Looks just like the hazard unit on the fusebox. Pulled it, paid less than $3 for a replacement, and I'm signaling turns in accordance with local laws once again!
