Kamaka Z Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I am having a problem with the turn signals on my 77 280Z. they have stopped working completely.I have checked the fuse, replaced the flasher took the turn signal switch apart and took the hazard switch apart for inspection both switches look fine with no burnt or corroded contacts. the emergency flashers work fine so the bulbs are good not sure where to look next, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.You guys always seem to have the answers so i hope you have the answer to this problem.

NewZed Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Use a meter and measure voltage at various places along the path to making the bulb filaments glow. Or measure resistance to find which components or wire paths aren't allowing current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmoralesbello Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'm pretty sure the '77 280Z has separate flashers for the turn signal and for the hazard lights. They are both under the dash on the driver's side, one above the steering column and the other on the fender wall (not sure which one works either circuit). Did you check them both?

Kamaka Z Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 emergency flasher is working because the four way flashers work. i replaced the turn signal flasher with a new one and no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Seriously, you're just spinning your wheels and wasting money if you don't at least take some sort of measurement before buying parts. You can even make a test light with a battery, a light bulb, and a piece of wire if you're poor. Or go to Harbor Freight and get a $4 meter.

Kamaka Z Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have a multimeter and a power probe just have not had the time to crawl under the dash and chase wiring. I plan on doing it tomorrow if I have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
