I actually have 2 good working turn signal switches (chrome Yankee Turnflex and black Signal-Stat 900), both 7-wire, that I can use. All lights work around the truck as they should. However, on each switch the indicator lights on the faceplate will not work. When tested, each will light up. What's happening here? | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | The pilot light on the unit is lit by the "P" terminal of a 3 prong flasher. That terminal could be burned out. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 38 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 38 | Do not forget having a good ground. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 789 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 789 | This is good advice. The 3-pronged flasher is relatively new--what would cause it to be burned out? Also, any thoughts as to where the ground problem could be? | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | The switch housing has to be grounded to the column. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 639 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 639 | darn Cletis, I've been racking my brain over this ever since I put my Signal Stat in. I think you just fixed my problem. Now maybe I wont drive two miles with my turn signal on  | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 789 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 789 | It was the #$@%& turn signal flasher "P" prong! Found a 6v flasher @ local CarQuest Automotive and all is well now! Got to love problem-solving the electrical problems. Thanks for all the help guys! | | |
