Hello group,

Have a question concerning my lighting system ('62 TR4)...  Headlights,
brakelights are working.  The left side blinkers work as well.  However I
can not get the right side (fore or aft) turn signals to work...  Although I
didn't think it was bulbs because front AND back were out - I figured start
simple and go from there - bulbs were OK.

Then figured I'd try to check the ancient Flasher swith - I jumped the
signal from the left side terminal on the switch to the right side switch
and, low and behold, there were my rights blinking happily!!  I immediately
congratulated myself and placed my umpteenth Moss order which included a new
Flasher switch thinking I'd solved the problem.  Well, the new one came and
I plugged it in and sank when I got the same result as that old rusty switch.

Continuity to the lights from the switch must be good, right?  - since they
worked with flasher jumped?  So is there some problem with power to the
switch for that side?  But if one side works then musn't both be getting
power??  It's probably real simple but it's got me stumped!

Thanks

Tim
