That's the way it seemed to work to me too. Anyway, in my case, it was not
flasher at all, or the bulb, or the switch. It is the stupid little light
on the dash that doesn't work, the turn signal itself does work, as do the
hazard lights. Oh well, that's what I get for listening to the former owner.

P.S. What is the proper way to fold the top on an MGB? The Bentley manual
says to fold it foward over the top frame, but yesterday I tried this, but
I couldn't get it to work right (yes it was only 41 out, but it was sunny
and I had fun :-) What I ended up doing was rolling the backlight up under
the frame and then over so that I was able to hook the retaining bar on
the hooks on the trunk. Is this how to do it? It worked fine, but I don't
know.
