Digital VOMs are very easy to use. You only need 2 of the settings for your digital VOM: Volts - DC and Ohms.

Put the switch to Volts - DC; jumper clips in + and - and go measure your battery voltage.

Then put the switch to OHMs and touch the 2 leads together. The reading should go from infinity ohms to a couple of ohms as you short the leads.

All is ok now except turn signals on mine. They were working at first. All I ever fooled with was the irritating door buzzer and I don't se that in the diagram. Hmmm

The door buzzer is not part of the turn signal circuit. Maybe you bumped something or blew a fuse.

What doesn't work on your turn signals? Do the 4-ways work?

Yes, hazards work. Do the turn signals go thru this switch?

Do the 4-ways work with key on and key off?

If your 4-ways work with key on and key off, then most of the circuit is ok. You may have bumped the connector to the turn signal level going to the steering column.

Hazard works with key on or off. Park lights work on either side as controlled by the turn signal stalk. Just replaced the flasher and fuse pops immediately when signals or hazard is switched on. It is a 3 pole relay. The one in the car is also. There is a jumper wire to the fourth pole. The signals used to work fine when I got the car then, pow, stated blowing fuses and now this.

If the hazards worked with the old relay with key on and off, the old relay is ok and most of the turn signal circuitry is ok. Look at the schematic, the turn signal contacts are in parallel with the hazard switch contacts.

So the fuse now blows with the new relay when either the hazard or turn signals turned on?

The parking lights working with the turn signal are separate contacts from the turn signal contacts.

Looks like it is the turn signal contacts. I took the hazard switch out and jumpered left and right individually and they work so the turn stalk is shorted. Gonna pull that tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
