Quick question....

I am going through restoring my 49 3100 and when I hooked up my turn signal assembly and grounded it out to the steering column it starts to constantly flash. Blinkers work but when I turn the blinkers off to the center position it just keeps flashing. Before I took things apart it was working fine.....

Any help on what I should check would be appreciated.

Adam, what flashers are on? One side or both sides? Front/rear

your flasher may not be wired correctly

the pilot light on you signal switch should go to the P post on the flasher.

or a bad flasher

I will have to check the lights to see which ones are flashing... right now I have all the fenders off and the bed, so lights are all disconnected. It appears that it is the hazards (so all; both sides, front and rear) are flashing.

The weird thing is that before I took everything apart the blinkers, hazards and turn signal switch worked fine. I didn't mess with anything (that I know of) so I am puzzled as to why all of a sudden it is acting up.

Thank you!

Didn't mess with anything? You have all the lights and the grounds to them disconnected and you expect them to work?
