just one.
If we are guessing, your flasher relay is most likely good and so is your turn signal switch. You are probably just not getting switched power to pin 49 when you turn on the key. Your problem is probably fuse 11..also goes to your brake lights, so if they work, the fuse is ok and it is a connection.
The wire that connects fuse 11 to the flasher button would be the next suspect...check the red/green wire where it connects at the fuse block If that checks good, check the red green from the 6 pin firewall connector to the switch/button.

Ok Ok i took the plundge and repalce the turn signal switch. Bingo!!!! That was it but....

By replacing the old activating arm by the new one, i broke the plastic housings of the switch....

Wayne! I need a switch! Now!

Thanks to all, specially fintstone and ruf-porsche for helping!

Tough break! Those are pricey. The turn signal portion rarely goes bad electrically ..except for the hi-lo beam portion. Most are replaced needlessly. You were probably right that you may have physically broken it while working on the hi-lo beams.

No, i mean the replacement switch WAS working perfectly!!!! Before i attempted to replace the black plastic arm! And broke a plastic housings while trying to replace a comestically less perfect arm.... Another 100$ dowm.....

But i learned something.

I know, I meant the first one.

I have a use headlight switch that needs the contact for the high beam to be cleaned or adjusted (High beam doesn't always stay on). Low beam and turn signal function are perfect.

$25.00 plus shipping? OBO
