Yea.. my neighbor was a repair technician on various systems for a couple dozen years.... told me to check grounds and replace some of the old wiring. Said the flasher circuit needed "3 wires somewhere in the circuit". i can't remember the term he used.
Fixed my four ways. For some reason they were re-wired and would only work with the old wiring.. but I found the original wiring and it worked fine
The turn signals are a different matter. They are currently working. Well the right ones are flashing incredibly slowly .. wrong flasher or bulb. My left rear is corroded (i mean badly, cracked lens cemented the bulb in there.. ) and the left front just comes on and stays on. Possibly not enough load to get it to flash.
BUT.. I didn't do anything to make it work..
Intermittent failures are the worst.
I believe there to be a bad ground somewhere.. but I can't figure out where.
At one point my turn signal power was reading 2 volts.. and my reverse light switch reading 8.
But now i'm getting 12 at the turn signals..
