Left turn signal/flasher problem
I hate electrical problems! The left turn signals do not flash on the 1973 914 race car, BUT, when I pull the emergency flasher, fuse 11 blows, the right signals work fine, there are no shorts/grounds in the left bulb housings (front & rear, I checked), I tried a new flasher relay & no difference and if I put the left or right signal on with key off the running lights on that side light up as they are supposed to. Additionally I checked the emergency brake switch, it's okay, I unhooked/bypassed/grounded the master cylinder switch (it has no reset) and it made no difference, all bulbs are tested okay (new and correct #s) and finally the flasher relay is active all the time and the brake warning light is flashing. I can pull the red wire on the emergency flasher and it stops flashing and of course no signals work? I am thinking a short in the left side wires, but if I unhook them from the flasher it still causes the warning light to flash or finally maybe the turn signal internals have shorted? Anyone have this happen before?
