Re Amazon Prime-I am unable to get rid of them also.. I now have 10 lbs of chia seeds which i cannot use. In order t "off" Amazon Prime you must send them a copy your birth certificate or other official document (but they say u can delete any personal info such as all but the last 4 digits of your social. Uh. I'm not doing that! I didn't give them that info when I signed up. Why now!?My credit card co won't let me out of the contract with amazon until I stoop to their (Amazon's) demand. I sincerely HATE this. How about a law case?Steve (MGA coupe and roadster guy)

A friend is having problems with the turn signals on a 1980 B. He?s replaced the left-hand switch unit (turn signals & horn). Left-hand signals flash, and 4-ways flash, but the right-hand signals only light steadily. He?s located the one flasher unit, but can hear another one clicking somewhere and can?t locate it -- where should he look? (The wiring diagram doesn?t help, and the car has been thoroughly hacked up by DPOs.)
Thanks in advance,

On my car there are two flasher units located behind the glove box,
mounted next to each other.? One is for the turn signals and the other
is for the hazard flashers.?? I'm not sure where else someone would
mount the flasher, but people do lots of inventive things.

If the left-hand flashes OK then it's not the flasher unit, there is one flasher unit for the hazards and one for the turn signals.
When one side glows but doesn't flash the problem is in the circuit that side. The original flasher units needed a certain amount of current to flash properly, and if that current reduces they flash slower or stop. If one bulb fails the other will glow continuously, but that should be obvious by checking both ends.
If both are glowing then either one or both bulbs is too low a wattage or there are bad connections in the circuit. These need patience to resolve by measuring volt-drops through the circuit, this may help http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/electricstext2.htm#fault2
However if this only started when the turn switch was replaced you should check the connections there first, making sure the two connectors are fully pushed together and none of the pins have been pushed out of the back.

Ladies & Gentlemen,
This is way off subject, for which I apologise,? but I am one of those
people who gets up in arms when I encounter a scam by a company that
should do better.
If you use Amazon you may have taken up their 'Prime' service which you
have to pay for.? Neat what?? You have to pay for good service !!!?? If
it fits your bill then that is fine /but just try and cancel it!
/I found we had been charged $7.99 for *years* plus a yearly fee
although cannot remember joining.?? We rarely use Amazon as "get it now"
does not attract us and the last purchase was 6 months ago.?? So
obviously cancellation of Prime was required.? Now we come to Amazon's
superbly crafted scam. *You cannot cancel.*?? You end up going round and
round their web pages but no how, no where does it allow you to
cancel.?? What is so blatantly indicative of their dishonesty is that if
you do a search on how to cancel Prime you will find a whole raft of
books written on it. *BOOKS ON HOW TO CANCEL* *!!!*?? UNBELIEVABLE.? And
guess what??? The books are sold by Amazon.
I just had to blow steam off about this.?? I find the only way is to
cancel my MasterCard and join up with a different credit card.??? The
bank bod told me that they can follow me across to a new MasterCard
-what ????? So it has to be another card.
Much mumbling in the background
Barrie

Hmmmmm.... You're saying you tried this and it didn't work?

I'm very happy with Prime. We get an educational discount using my
daughter's .edu email address and watch a lot of stuff on Prime Videos.

Unfortunately we don?t know if the signals worked before the new switch was installed because some ham-handed DPO had broken the stalk and some of the plastic internals?.
