1981 Chevrolet El Camino 5.0L TH350
Let me start from the very beginning. i had issues with my turn signal lever not locking into
place, so I replaced the turn signal switch. After putting everything back together i noticed that
my left blinker indicator was staying lit on my dash so i figured it meant a burnt bulb. Inspected the lights and neither rear were blinking, only front driver and passenger. Changed the rear
driver bulb out for a led type bulb and went ahead to change the passenger one as well to have matching bulbs. Still no blinking from rear. Switched on the hazards and both front blinks, and only rear passenger blinks. After messing with it for a while the rear passenger stopped blinking with hazards. Only front was blinking then with turn signal lever or hazards.
Left it at that for the night because it got late. So today I went and looked and now nothing works with turn lever. Turn indicators don't even light up on dash. So I tried the hazards and two front and passenger rear are flashing. I plugged my old turn signal switch and nothing changed. Put on new relays (Hazard and turn signal) and still no improvement. I read somewhere that there is a separate flasher behind the headlight knob inside the dash so i changed that out too but later found out it was a horn relay. I unbolted my column brace to reach above the column and there is no relays up there. Just some connectors.
What should I be looking at next? I really need to get this car fixed. Thanks in advance.
