Re: turn signals finally fixed!

Hi David, all the wires in my car are brand new, except the turn signal wires from the switch which were in seemingly good condition.
No matter which way I use the turn signal lever, I get power to both turn signal wires at the switch. The lights are wired correctly, so the issue seems to be in my switch. I didn't have my meter in the hangar tonight so I was only testing with a test light. I cleaned the switch contacts and that's all fine, seems like the short is under the phenolic where the wires solder in. Before I tear further into the switch, which looks pretty good really, I will check my wiring job in the column plug to make sure I didn't get something touching in there. Although when I soldered the wires to the pins there I rang it all out and it was good at that time.
Things that make you go hmmm......
