Rewired Turn Signals - Now Hazards and Left Signal Don't Work


Recommended Posts

I had an issue with my turn signal connector under the dash in my 1973 240Z where the connector cracked, the wires shorted, and it melted a bit. I rewired everything, and it all worked. However, I didn't have a crimp tool on hand so I did my crimps on the non insulated connectors just by folding the metal pieces over the wire and giving it a tight squeeze. This worked temporarily but proved to be not be very effective after some wires came loose. I dismantled everything, found the proper tool for the job, and did it again. Now all four of my hazards don't work and my rear left turn signal doesn't work. I checked the fuses, and they're all good. What do you guys recommend? I'm pretty lost when it comes to electrical work.

Unplugged it all and put it all back together the same way, maybe something was not connecting well, but my rear left now works again. Hazards are still a no-go, but I'm gonna clean off the switch now. Thanks Domzs. 

 

Edit: Still no hazards. :(

And don't forget to check all your grounds...they are often the issue when the lights are working sporadically.  Most (if not all) of the ground points for the rear lights are in the rear hatch, behind the taillight cover panel.
