Subject:Turn signal system failure
From:Pensioner
Date:Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:21:50 -0700

Yesterday while bus-tling about to get ready for the tour de fleur sauvage,
the turn signals went nips-up in a most strange way. With the stalk in
either left OR right, the console indicator goes to solid green, not fast
blink like a burned out indicator light.  With the stalk in center position
the indicator glows dimly.

Changing the emergency flasher relay (21) didn't correct the fault.

I have disconnected/isolated both rear light panels, no effect, disconnected
the Emergency Flasher Switch, no effect, disconnected the stalk switch
connectors, no effect on the dim green when the EFR (21) is inserted.  Of
course with the EFR out there is no indicator.  Bently 97.131 illustrates
that with the EFSwitch out of the circuit and the Turn signal switch
disconnected there should be no current path to turn on the indicator when
the EFR is inserted.

Anyone have any ideas for further troubleshooting.  Copy by pmail would also
be appreciated.

One day older and a little more confused.
