Clean the ends of the fuses and the sockets. They sometimes get

corrupted and won't make good contact. The silver tipped (zinc plated

steel) fuses are the worst. Get the copper tipped ones.

Check the relay behind the left side plastic console cover. You can put

12V to it and make it snap shut.


On my '83, the relay gets flaky. When it's cold out, the blinkers won't

blink. I can whack the side of the console and they will blink. One

whack, one blink.

Once everything in the cabin warms up, they blink fine.

I pulled the relay and flowed all the solder joints. Didn't help. I'm

guessing the coil is weak and not pulling in like it should. It works if

I leave the plastic cover off the relay. Snap the cover on and it stops

working.

One day I'll replace it.

It's a bit annoying hearing the relay clicking randomly while driving

down the road though...
