Help eliminate turn signal problem???

Post by 67mann »

So I gave the kid the 1967 f100 for his graduation and I must say he's done a great job(with help from his friends)taking care of the normal demons of driving one of these trucks daily :clap: He's now in college and the truck is off the road until he can foot the bill for Ins.&Reg.but before it got parked....the passenger side front turn signal stopped working....first cpl thoughts were bad bulb or bad ground :hmm: theory was dismissed due to the fact...parking lights and hazzard's still work just fine. Before I go tearing into the column(which is where I believe the problem to be).....can anybody back up my assumption or point me in the right direction :? This truck has already had the harness (in cab)replaced and another (unmolested)column with wiring put in it
I've had enough and I'm not alone

Jerry,
Good to see ya' here man. How's bow season started up there for you?
Be easier sometimes to print this:

I'd start at wire 2A coming from the emergency flasher switch, (check for 12 volts there). Then keep going backwards to the turn signal switch, (check for 12 volts there). Not real sure what color the wire would be, so here's the wire color chart.

Hope it helps.

Hazards run on the same circuit but the markers are different & use a different element in the bulb. You should be able to find the wire that comes out of the turn signal switch for the RF. If you have power coming out of the switch & the other (left) turn signal works ok I would say you have a break in the wire from the point of test & the light. I would be tracing wire 2 since you already said flashers work ok. The problem should be between the turn signal switch & the plug where 2 & 2A merge or the switch itself.
