Turn signal problem

[Dave Nichols]

Took my 1976 S3 Seven out this weekend and while making a left turn, the turn signal indicator started blinking very rapidly and then stopped all together. Now my turn signals don't work. Any clues?

Dave.

The quick flashing is usually one of the bulbs is out. However the fact that it stopped flashing altogether is something else. I would check the flasher unit first.

Have you checked the fuse?

I would also try cycling the hazard switch a few times.

[Dave Nichols]

Thanks gents, I'll check all of the above when I get back home on Friday.

[Dave Nichols]

Well, the answer was simple enough.

I checked the fuses, played with the hazard lights and dove under the dash to discover a wire that had come loose. Simple, easy fix. Thank you all.
