A couple of weeks ago, the left turn indicator on my '76 Six stopped
flashing; the front light was on and the back light off without flashing.
The right indicator worked fine. Today I finally got around to fixing the
problem. I assumed that it was just a blown bulb in the left rear
indicator. Silly me! I have a Lucas electrical system (which is part of the
fun of having this car I keep telling myself). Suffice it to say that I
changed the bulb to no effect. Perhaps the impedance of the front bulb had
cahnged causing the flasher to malfunction. So I cahnged that bulb. No
effect! I ended up with the brute force solution, that is changing all four
bulbs AND the flasher, all to no avail! This is getting really frustrating.
Perhaps a grounding problem somewhere. Ohhh Noooo. Can anyone on this list
give me some pointers to what I should try next; I'm really at a loss. BTW
the battery seems OK and the voltmeter indicates its usual 14v or so.
