OK, I just spent 20 or 30 minutes on the problem. I checked output of
the relay to the red/blue wire terminal, it's OK. I checked for
flashing ground continuity at the connector, it's OK. On the
instrument cluster, I checked the flasher contact on the connector
strip with ground, and on both sides of the resistor, and it's OK. I
pulled the LEDs and replaced the potentially defective one with a
known good one from another cluster, paying attention to the
orientation in the socket prongs.

Still no flashing dash turn signal LED.

Should I next be looking for a failed 12v source? So far I have only
looked at (or had information on) the ground part of the circuit.
Does that make sense?

Thanks,

Jim
