i was working on the lights in the visors two days ago...now the blinkers dont work, the fuse is fine, as the lights in the insturment panel still work...and the bulbs are fine as the hazard turn on all the blinkers, in both the exterior lamps, as wellin the insturment panel?...do these things have flashers, if so, where are they hidden..i have to start there...look if it is hot or not, thanks. oh yea...1984 380sl

 

[david7212]

anybody have an opinion?

 

[Digmenow]

I believe there is a recent thread that discusses the turn signal/wiper stalk and the general 'irrepairability' of it. A quick search might turn it up.

Dig's edit: Got it.

wheni purchased the car...they worked...and thenthey stopped for a day..i had a sterio installed..then they worked..so i thought whatever was broke..now works...now they went out while i was working on the lights in the visor...it might be the multi switch..who knows...is there a way to test the individual components?

Try toggling your Hazard Switch on and off several tomes on the center console. They seem to be linked to the flashers.

The missing ground you had with the left visor light is probably related. Do you have a manual?

 

[david7212]

You forgot the Really. I' m offended. And did I try, or simply use the shift key......?

[ScottinSoCal]

And how do you say "Zoinks" with an Irish accent? My mind reels at the implications.

That's Scooby O'Doo, to you, sir...

Well, he does have a 'brogue', of sorts.
