I'm researching to find out what (if anything) in the radio wiring might affect the turn signals. Haven't found it, yet.

looking in my haynes manual at the wiring diagram

from fuse: yel/blk ->turn signal flasher
flasher to multifunction with a grey wire
from switch
Lt green ->right tail lamp
lt green/ blk -> left tail lamp
brown ->right park/turn lamp
gry/blk -> left park turn lamp

anyone see anything wrong with that?

So, would I wanna check the yellow/black along with the grey wire for anything? I know one of the radio harness wires is black w/ orange chaser and the other I think is light blue with something, maybe orange or red

in park with parking lights on do they work?
is it front and rear? just front? i read through the thread maybe i missed this stuff.

i understand the flashers work and turn signal doesnt.

also my previous post is not 100% as there was no engine and year designation on the diagram.

No turns work, but hazards do, although they seem to randomly speed up and slow down. It's a manual, but I believe the parking lights work. I'll check it in the morning when I get up.

You already did. That's the wire that runs from the load side of the fuse to the flasher module terminal. I believe you mentioned that was tested in the first post.

The rest of those wire colors sound wrong. Might be for a different year.

So, the black on both sides of L connector should have 12v, right?

Hmm....If I'm correct, that wire should go back to the fuse panel and up to the signal switch, right? Could be broken somewhere?

Yep, looks like the same. The wires all look like they'd match up, but I can't remember the exact way mine looks. Question....Would a bad turn signal switch cause this problem? No turns, but hazards work? Power not getting from ign switch to the wires?
