is the box fried in the trunk? is the ampmeter fried if so how do i check this?

Foxman, I think that the right blinker would be a bad connection to the bulb or a bad bulb. I changed my board on the 70 and have 2 bulbs that will not light up. These circuit boards are used and youget what you get. Try to swap the turn signal bulb with one that you know is working. My green standard 70 has the bright beam bulb out and I know that it is the board. The horn probably is not related. Try to hot wire it to see if it blows or check the current to it with a meter. Your horn may have just went out. Sal Cougar Geek

I have the same issue with my right turn signal and was told that the culprit is most likely the signal switch in the column. I have not changed it out as of yet but have a new one ready to install. The exterior lights still work fine.

Mongo, the turn signal switch is pretty easy once you get the steering wheel off. Some harness's run through the steering column, your 70 runs along side the column and is covered by the round column cover. Once it's done, you'll wonder why you waited so long.

Foxman, great to see that you fixed the problem. I had a fried wire in my 70 standard that drove me crazy because it gave me readings that should have started the car. Once I realized that the voltage wasn't consistent and changed it, everything is fine now.
