I found that there's a short somewhere at "the purple wire" It connects to the panel/interior light switch. Actually at the bottom post, very bottom. When Switched to any of the on positions, the turns and flashers don't work. Which explains the intermittence.. I would have the switch randomly placed just from bumping it or moving the panel around.
The diagram only shows one purple wire "headlight flash and dip"
But those still work. there's a heavy gauge.. maybe 12 or so and a 16/18 gauge wire.. its the 18 that's giving me grief.. Connects to the same terminal on the fuse block. Maybe its for the "dome" light I don't have left as a short somewhere.
My panel lights work... and those are the only lights in the entire vehicle.. so i'm good.
It got even more strange to diagnose because there was enough corrosion on that fuse so it was also powering the purple wire intermittently.
I diagnosed it eventually by pulling each spade off the fuse block one at a time till something changed.
I need a better ground.., the battery is grounded to the frame and I don't see a strap to the engine, but right now its working.
