blinkers

[Heathcliff68f100]

ok so i need help, my turnsignals arent working, the brakelights work, running lights work and hazzard lights work but no turnsignals, anyone know what could cause this?

I would start by trying a new "Flasher". It is #2 in this diagram http://www.fordification.com/tech/wiring/68-04.jpg it is mounted on the back side of the cluster.

ive tryed that, ive replaced flashers the light switch, brake light switch, everything but the tss, which is barely 6 months old, i just have no idea where my problem could be now, its frustrateing

The added info helps...
Check the fuse if it is ok then check the TSS connector and look at the Blue wire for power with a test light, make sure it has power on both sides of the connector. If it does then the TSS is probably the issue and I would pull the steering wheel off and take a look.

will try that in the morning and let you know what i find

ok, i checked the tss, its good, but i still cannont figure out what the issue is, i have new fuses, none are blown, anymore ideas?

[fordman]

does the flasher can work? can you hear it clicking barely?

[Heathcliff68f100]

not for the turn signals, but if i swap it to the hazzards it clicks like new

[fordman]

when you swap the cans do the blinkers work then. if they do you need a new flasher can.

[Heathcliff68f100]

they dont, i checked for power to the flasher can with a multimeter and i got nothing, nada, so i put an old power plug in the cigarette lighter and toutched the hot to one side of the flasher terminals, and bam blinkers, but i caint figgure out where its sopposed to get power from?

[fordman]

for a 68 i looked at this diagram. http://www.fordification.com/tech/wiring/68-23.jpg the power for the blinker flasher comes from the fuse box via wire number 950. and into the wiper switch. from the wiper switch wire number 8 supplies power up to the flasher can for the turn signals. through wire number 44 which goes into the turn signal switch. from the switch they go out to the lights. so if nothing at the flasher can go back to the wiper switch and then back to the fuse box. it could even be a bad connection on the back of the fuse box with the wire and the terminal that holds the wire.
