This past summer another member (who doesn't seem to frequent anymore) and I tried to diagnose my sequential turn signals and why they used to work and don't now.
He taught me a lot and i totally appreciate all the knowledge he passed on to me.. We never got it solved because of work implications I had no time to work on it. I now have a little more time I can spend on the old girl. I have gone back through all our old messages and retired everything that he told me to try and still nothing. So I come to you, i hope you can help. One of the last things to get my '67 on the road.
So here is a current break down of what happens..
There is power getting to the turn signal switch as the sequential motor runs in Left/Right/4-way positions. So contact 2 is getting power (from above illustration) and contacts 5 and 3 are good in the switch (turning the signal motor on). When signalling left the left k9 relay in the trunk clicks sometimes.. I suspect a dirty contact in the switch as jumping 2 and 4 will close the relay in the trunk. Nothing at all happens when you select the right signal at the column. The left dash indicator comes on and the motor turns in the trunk. Jumping 2 and 6 will not close a relay in the trunk.. So i think I need to either disassemble and clean my switch or get a new one, which i am not very fond of as i heard they are pricey? It would also appear I need to replace the k8 relay in the trunk, but upon further investigation found that the k8/k9 relay seem to be an integral piece back there.. with a lot of wires going to them. At least thats what I heard thunking open and close when jumpering the k9 relay.
Selecting the 4-ways brings on both dash indicators, starts the motor in the trunk, and turns on 0 outside lights. All the bulbs work and are good.
So in summary,
Left side works temperamentally.. seems to be dirty switch contacts. Relay selects in the trunk, motor runs, dash indicator flashes.
Right side does nothing, no indicator light, no relay selection, motor runs in the trunk.
4-ways brings on both dash indicators.. So then the k5 relay must still be ok as it is what controls the right dash indicator correct?
Im gonna be honest im partially baffled lol. This is why I needed a professional, I've test most of the stuff. I need more information on these systems, can you help me?
Thank-you so much.
