Subject:1985 GL - Turn Signal's quite working
From:Jeff Lincoln
Date:Wed, 5 May 2010 09:44:04 -0400

OK, I'm stumped. On my way to work this morning my turn signals quit working
- all of them. The 4 ways work fine.

When I move the the turnsignal arm to the up or down position - the
indicator light on the gauge lights solid. (I at first assumed I had a bulb
out). When I am driving down the road the indicator light on the gauge glows
very faintly (wierd).

So my first thoughts are:

a) It's a relay of some kind
b) It's the actual switch on the steering collumn
c) A fuse situation

Sorry to present this without further diagnosis on my part but it just
happened on my way to work - if it's possibly something real simple maybe I
can fix it for the ride home :)

Your thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated.
