Afternoon ya'll. I got a '71 Mach 1 with some turn signal issues. At first it was just a new flasher so I replaced them and they were good. Now my turn signals ain't working. I tried a different flasher thinking that was the issue but it did not address the problem. I replaced the turn signal switch for a new one and it still doesn't work. Checked my fuses and they are all fine. I checked my bulbs and none are burnt either. My hazards work fine and the turn signal lights on the inside of the car work when hazards are on. They flash on the outside as well but individual turn signals ain't working. Anyone got a similar problem that they have fixed?

Had same problem. Got a new flasher. Worked for two days and out again. Got another flasher and haven’t had a problem since. You might have just got a bad flasher.

I have tried two working flashers and also tried an electronic flasher. None of them got the turn signals to work.

I was going to mention that the second one I got was an electronic one but i see you tried that already. When you checked the fuses did you use an ohm meter? We’re any of the sockets covered with coorosion?

I have not checked them with an ohm meter. Do I just put one clamp on one side and one on the other with the ignition on? The fuse box seems to be in pretty good condition. There is no corrosion on any of the contacts.

Perhaps check you're getting power to the flasher, check for 12 volts at the white/purple wire on the flasher unit which comes from the fuse box, if nothing then it could be the fuse or a broken wire/dirty connection
If good then try for 12 volt on the light blue wire on the flasher unit when turn signal on, if nothing then it could be anything from the wire to the connections up to the switch
Seeing as you have replaced a few things it sounds more like a connection/wiring problem which would be best chased by a test light or multimeter
Good luck and perhaps Midlife will give you better ideas

I'll give that a shot tomorrow and see what it's doing .

Do you have the correct bulbs?
Single vs double element.
Dont assune what was in there is correct.

I put the correct bulbs when I got the car. At first it was just a bad flasher. I replaced it and it got my turn signals working. Now thats the only thing that doesn't work. Hazards work but not individual turn signals .
