welcome to the board

first place i'd check would b the flasher switch on the column
factory service manuals are readily available in quality reprints. check the vendor list on the main page as most good board vendors will have them at very reasonable prices the manuals have factory wiring diagrams

Yes, probably that whole turn signal switch set up. I used to have a phobia of them, but they are actually fairly easy to install. Just go slow and write anything down you may think will be important on the re install. Especially if you get called away in the middle. Both Chiltons and Haynes have the info in them. Your local parts store should have the switch or be able to get it Hope this helps, Mike

Hi Joe,

Welcome to the board. If you scroll down to the bottom of this page you will see the FORUM JUMP box, click on the little down arrow on the right side and scroll down to "Electrical" in the window that pops up and click on it. When you get into the electrical section you will see a heading close to the top that says "Color Wiring Diagram Finished". Click on that. If you have some free time there are a lot of interesting areas to explore in the FORUM JUMP box. Check 'em out...
