post icon 77 el camino no turn signals Sign In

Okay a while back I had an issue with the anti theft so I removed the safety switch but since then I have not been able to get power to signals. Altho headlight and markers come on but signals will not awork. Brake lightig works. Fuses are fine. I'm thinking there is no power goin to the column. But I don't wanna send off any power to any wires since I've recently fried my car lighter circuit and now facing I'm facing his dilemma to even mess wit. If someone could just point me in the right direction of where to start it would be much appreciated

Have you tested the flasher? Do the hazards work?

You have a volt meter or a 12 volt test lamp and wiring diagram?

If you know how to check electrical circuits, you could isolate the problem area.

Well unfortunately my test light messed up on me so I went and made one with a regular turn signal light and added two hot wires and a ground so now I could check and see if two circuits got fire or not? So what should I do to isolate if i seem to understand there is no fire coming from the steering wheel?

IDK - all those are right at the same area. You may want to look (pull steering wheel) and see if there's some broken stuff shorting all those out.

The "cancel" springs and who knows now at the age do break but usually just can't cancel directionals on one side after a turn but they are wire and subject to mess up,
