69 charger hazard and turn Signals problem

[darrin75]

OK, i found a ground in the column and got my turn signals to come on when In correct postion, But don't not flash on either side, just lights up.  The hazard lights aka turn signals both come on when turning on hazard switch, but once again no flash.  I checked both flashers with meter and they both show true.  Could this still be a turn signal in dash problem, does it feed the flashers power.  by the way the turn signal flasher its self is new, I don't see both flashers going bad all at the same time.  I still think the signal switch in the column is the problem, just need some help here, basically i need to know does the column switch provide power to the round flashers , and also does the dimmer panel lights have anything to do with it, because I have none, and did before the ground issue, if one the bulbs are blown would that cause the flashers not to work.  Help thanks guys.  Love it here

Do they lght up outside?I'm not positive but I think the power comes from either the light switch or the panel switch.This is fun isn't it?I'm trying to figure out why the courtesy lights don't come on with the drivers door but yet work perfectly with the passenger door....

[darrin75]

yeah they light up outside, just do not blink.  Yeah This electrical sh*t is for the birds?  But got to be fixed anyway.

[darrin75]

I think you have wired up the drivers door to the passengers side, I am pretty sure the light should only come on when opeing the drivers door, but not 100% sure.

and year ones which are priced higher

The flasher is the REAL switch... column switch is more like a matrix route device.

Still with low batt must at least barelly work.

Are the Year One labeled with FD on PN ?... if so, they are Mopar originals.

[darrin75]

Even if there are labeled that why, could there really been much of a diffference?  anyway,  I have also lost my dash lights & will 1 blown bulb cause all the light to go out.  Does one bulb feed another etc and i would think that at least one of the flashers would work.

[Nacho-RT74]

I also wonders that....

1 bulb doesn't make the rest don't work, specially dash one.

When you get all ( except dash ) blinkers blown you will notice dash pilot signal stays on since that tiny bulb is not enough load to heat the flasher and make it blinks.

Normally one outside bulb blowed makes the bilnkers blink more fast because flasher doesn't heat enough and gets cold faster.

[darrin75]

So you basically saying unitl I get some of the other dash bulbs working, my flashers are not going to heat up fast enough?  Thanks I will try some things and let you know, thats for the help cheers

one outer bulb makes it blinks, just faster...

two outer bulbs makes blinks more to normal... so three of course...

difference between 2 or 3 is not big noticeable

dash pilot light makes no big difference.
