How I resolved my Turn Signal Problems!

[65BD427r]

My turn signals would work sometimes and then they finally just stopped working! After doing some research and discovering my turn signal system was probably the same as a 66-67 VW, I decided to start checking the easiest items first! I checked my turn signal relay (located on the face of the fusebox, in the passenger right side of the floorboard). Appeared ok but no clicking noise when activated, probed and found it was getting juice! When back to actual switch on the column, all wires looked good and since i had read to be careful when you take it apart due to a spring inside I decided to go back to the fuse box, after i checked the ground wires on all my exterior turn signals, which all appeared good! This time i decided after turning my electrical source off that i would remove my fuse box and take a look at the back side of it! I checked the three female prongs that plugged into the turn signal flasher, bingo two of the three prongs were loose! After removing them and reshaping them and plugging the flasher back in, everything worked great! Hopefully this will help someone else with a similar problem! Process of elimination...

That's not been the usual problem... but nice tip!

65BD427r - how do you remove the fuse panel? Mine doesn't seem to have any extra wire behind it / I'm having a problem with my headlights, wipers, and turn signals canceling.
There's almost no room to get my head down there let alone any tools. Thanks!

Any time I work under my dash I remove the pass seat at a minimum and sometimes the drivers as well. My fat self just does not fit up under there.
