Blinker/Hazard Gremlin

Sometimes when I use the blinkers both left and right blink at the same time....like they should with the hazards. Does this mean a relay is going out somewhere?

Probably a bad turn signal switch.

So that would be inside the column? This is a fairly new til-column from ididit.

Oh. Could be a short between terminals/wires on the column connector. The GM connector has left and right signals on adjacent terminals. The troublesome firewall connectors are like that also on the '71 and older Broncos.

Is it just the dash indicators that are lighting up or the actual signals, front and rear?

You can't just pick that up anywhere.... You have to get it from one of the specialty houses.

It comes in right turn or left turn bottles.

In our cold weather, you probably only want 20 weight, or they'll blink too slow
