Turn signal problems...need help!

Swap 4 way flasher with turn signal flasher first

I did the flasher swap, that's how i got the 4 ways working...put the good flasher back in the turn signal spot again but no luck.
I used a test light at the turn signal relay location and there's no voltage there when my signals are activated. Is there a fuse possibly, that I'm missing? The connector at the left rear tail light, no voltage there either...which is odd if my tail lights work AND my 4-ways work...

Turn signal are ignition feed, hazards and brake are constant. Check the fuses.

Don't u worry! It will get sorted out. You said that it was a swap.. And interior was changed. And chance that's the source? Maybe the signal mechanism is somthing to look at? Not all parts change as easy for 78-79 cars. Maybe a column l swap?

I'll be interested in what you come up with, mine lights but won't flash. I did the flasher swap as well hoping it was the culprit, then swapped everything over to LED hoping that would fix it with an LED flasher. Still no luck......

If I have a problem with a light I get out my test light and start with the light and work back till I find the source of the problem

I don't know if that will help in my situation since it is sending the signal and lighting which would light the test light

if you have power at the socket then have you checked the ground with a multimeter set on resistance?

Thanks, no I will have to give that a shot was hoping that it was a bulb problem that the LED would fix
