Re: [MBZ] Turn signal weirdness?

(Plus I'm not sure how a fuse could cause the hazards to work but not the individual signals... they're the same circuit.) Not entirely, else how could the hazards work with the key off? (The turns certainly don't.) -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For

Re: [MBZ] Turn signal weirdness?

Stuart, the hazard relay is poopy. Gump had the same issue and after I got the new relay from Rusty, she blinks right. I did both the hazard and the under dash relay, since I did not want to be chasing the thing for weeks clay On May 13, 2009, at 7:09 PM, Stuart Saxonberg wrote: Hi, gu

It was, of course, the hazard switch. Thanks to everyone who told me that (and boo to me for *having had the problem before and completely forgotten*). Stuart S. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Re: [MBZ] Turn signal weirdness?

Mitch and Jim: Yeah, I did hit the hazard switch before it happened, as a matter of fact. I'll pull and clean it tonight, see if that fixes things. That explanation makes sense, now that I think of it and get reminded that I *did* touch the thing... Larry: Already done, not long after I got the ca

Yesterday, driving home, my turn signals (1976 300D, w115) quite suddenly stopped working (with no flakiness beforehand or other indications of any issues). This is almost always a dirty hazard switch. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used

Hi, guys! Yesterday, driving home, my turn signals (1976 300D, w115) quite suddenly stopped working (with no flakiness beforehand or other indications of any issues). (Previously, my turn signal relay failed, and I temporarily* have a generic thermal blinker in its place, but it's unclear
