[Roadsters] Blinker Issue [solved]

[Steve Jacobson]

(RED face) Many thanks, to all.  That's it.  Since I have a hood pin, I've
never
noticed anything down there.  Although the blinker can was in the area,
I just must have overlooked the 'FF' knob. Even when I looked through
the owners manual online, just stopped my search at the dash area
diagram.  Didn't think these even had a hazard flasher.

Must have caught it trying to wiggle out of the tight racing seat.



Cleaned off some bulbs, hooked up a loose rear wire, fully functional again! 
Now I can keep my hand warm and dry when I turn, and (not) break down on the
side of the road (track) safely.

I'll go play with my Lincoln Logs now.

Steve,

My vote is for the emergency flasher switch. I'll bet it is pulled,
which should cause both sides to flash, but the switches are known to
get dirty, causing only one side to flash. Push the switch back in and
your turn signals should work fine.

Peace,
Pat
