Re: DIRECTIONALS JUST STOPPED WORKING FRONT ARE ON AS...
One of two thing's comes to mind, either inside the Headlamp,(or) under the gas tank, you either have a loose wire, or a blown fuse, I suggest trying the "headlamp" first since it takes a hell of a beating, going down the road, please let me know if this got ya setor not, god bless, and safe riding

The direction indicators are unlikely to work correctly until the hazard light switch functions correctly - the hazard switch is usually wired so when operated it has cut the direction indicator wiring and connected itself to the lamps rendering the direction indicator switch redundant.
Lots of cars suffer indicator problems when the hazard switch is rarely used. Often a few minutes vigorously operating the hazard switch restores operation but if the switch is broken it must first be replaced.
The parking lights should be on a different circuit from turn signals - hazard lights. The bulbs usually have two filaments, one for each circuit. On most models there is a tail light fuse and relay that handles front and rear parking lights.
There is a good possibility that the hazard warning and directional signal lights have nothing to do with the starting or operation of the engine. There are many things that might cause the car to fail to start. The battery must be fully charged, and in good working condition. No corrosion on the terminals. good solid connections. When you turn the key the starter motor should turn the engine over. If that works the carburetor will need gas. If you have gas and spark, the engine should run. Hope that helps.
Turn signals work with the tail lights and parking lights on the front. You should turn on the Head lights and check to see if the tail lights and parking lights come on. You will also want to check to see if the flasher is plugged in. All the light bulbs must be plugged in and working to operate the flasher for the turn signals. good luck
The front lights are running lights and turn signals....so you are probably seeing the running light lit, as it should be any time the key is on.
The power for the turn signals goes through the Hazard flasher switch, its set up so you can't try the turn signals and the hazard flashers at the same time. First inspect to see the harness is still firmly connected to the switch.
I would remove the hazard flasher switch and with harness still attached, key ON, the Hazard switch OFF, verify you have battery voltage at the Brown wire.....thats from the Signal fuse circuit. If its okay.....now check the brown/yellow wire for voltage...thats from the switch going to the flasher system...if no power....you have a problem in the switch. A great site for Venture repair is the venturers.org site.
Hope this has helped!
Do you know what a wiring diagram is ? How to use a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year make ,model and engine size. Under system click on lighting ,then under subsystem click on turn signals . Click the search button then the blue links .Check power an ground circuits ! This is how we diagnose electrical faults , not just replacing parts .
Turn Lamps
Voltage is applied through the TURN fuse and the turn/hazard flasher when the ignition switch is in the following positions:
• RUN
• BULB TEST
• START
The voltage travels to the contact in the hazard switch. The hazard switch is located in the turn/hazard-headlamp switch assembly. This contact is normally closed.
When the left turn signal is turned on, voltage is applied to the following components.
• The left turn indicator
• The left front park/turn lamp circuit 14
• The left rear turn lamp circuit 18
The turn lamps turn on immediately. The current flow heats up the timing element. The timing element is located in the turn/hazard flasher. The timing element repeatedly opens and closes the circuit. This action causes the turn lamps to begin flashing.
The voltage that is applied to the left front park/turn lamp is also applied to the left front marker lamp. If the headlamp switch is in the OFF position, the left front marker lamp will find a path to ground through one of the following lamps. The following lamps provide low resistance paths to ground:
• The right front marker lamp
• The right turn indicator
• The right front park/turn lamps
• The left front park/turn lamps
The left front marker lamp flashes with the turn lamps. The voltage drop across the marker lamp is much higher than the voltage drop across the other lamps. The lamps that are used for the ground path will not flash.
When the headlamp switch is in either the PARK or HEAD positions, voltage is applied through the following components:
• The EXT LP fuse
• The marker lamps
• The park lamps
When the left turn signal is turned on, the left marker lamp will have voltage at both connections. The left marker lamp does not light. When the turn/hazard flasher stops the voltage to the turn lamps, the marker lamp is grounded through the turn lamp. The marker lamp does not go on. The left front marker lamp flashes in the following manner:
• The left front marker lamp flashes on when the turn filament of the left front park/turn lamp goes off.
• The left front marker lamp flashes off when the turn filament of the left front park/turn lamp goes on.
Voltage is applied to the right lamps in the same manner, when the right turn signal is turned on.
Hazard Lamps
Voltage is applied at all times through the following components to the normally open contact of the hazard switch in the turn/hazard-headlamp switch assembly:
• The STOP HAZ fuse
• The turn/hazard flasher
When the hazard switch is turned on, voltage is applied to the following components:
• The front turn lamps
• The rear turn lamps
The following lamps flash on and off:
• All of the turn lamps
• Both of the turn indicators
The front marker lamps flash with the hazard lamps on, just as the front marker lamps flash when the turn lamps are on. If the headlamp switch is in the OFF position, the front marker lamps flash on when the hazard lamps are on. The front marker lights will flash on when the hazard lamps are on if the headlamp switch is in one of the following positions:
• PARK
• HEAD
When the hazard lamps are on, the following conditions apply:
• The turn circuit is always open.
• The turn/hazard flasher controls the lamp.
Park/Marker Lamps
Voltage is applied through the EXT LP fuse, to the headlamp switch at all times. Voltage is applied to the park lamps and the marker lamps when the headlamp switch is in the following positions:
• PARK
• HEAD
The front marker lamps are grounded through the turn filament of the respective front park/turn lamp. The front marker lamps light as a result.
Stop Lamps
Voltage is applied through the STOP HAZ fuse to the brake switch at all times. When the brake pedal is depressed, the brake switch closes. This action applies voltage through the turn/hazard-headlamp switch assembly to the following lamps:
• The high mounted stop lamp assembly
• The left tail/stop-turn lamps
• The right tail/stop-turn lamps
i think her problem is the hazard light switch this is how they go when they go wrong the indicators stop working ,their is no magic relay or seting dash lights --- not on such an old car ,the hazards work but no indicators ,they all use the same flasher unit but its all wired through teh hazard light switch ,anyway shes a female and they never use indicators anyway ,only hazards for triple parking outside the hairdresser
H).l-blu wire connect to left front turn signal J).dk-blu wire connect to right front turn signals K).brown wire connect to hazard/flasher relay output L).purple wire conect to turn/flasher signal M). yellow wire connect to left rear stop hazard light N). dk-green wire connect to right rear stop/hazard light P) white wire connect to stop light swirch output
Check the hazard switch and the connector to hazard switch see if u have the power and earth to hazard switch if there is power and earth to switch then replace ur hazard switch its faulty but if there is no power and earth to switch then it has whirring problem
