another turnsignal problem
I have a 72 cutlass and my turnsignals wont work. Bulbs are good, fuse is good, and I'm getting power to the fuse. But, when I have the multimeter on the fuseblock it says 11.8v or so and when I hit the signal stalk it drops to 10.5v and stays there. I replaced the flasher and that didn't work. So, what should I try next? Thank you,

It goes back to 11.8 or so when the stalk is put back. And the hazards do work as well as the stop lights. The only thing that doesn't work is the back up lights and the turnsignals. What could be corrosion?

Well if the hazards work, sockets are good, you might swap the flasher turn signal with hazard, unless it's a single flasher.

I have a simplified schematic on turn signals in my service manual, basically the turn signal switch breaks the circuit from the brake light switch. I don't have anyway to send you a image right now as my wife has the digital camera, and away for a couple hours. I wish I was more help. It also has a troubleshooting flow chart, let me get back to you, and I will trace it out.

Basically following it down to hazards work, no turn signal either side, if fuse and fuse block is good, put test light (or your voltmeter) on the purple wire in turn signal connector on steering column.
if test light dose not light on either side, says you have an open from fuse block to fuse to flasher,( I'd say check continuity, anyway).
If you have power on the feed side only, contacts are dirty in connector.
Test lamp lights on both sides, repair wireing from the connector to the switch, or replace turn signal switch assembly.
This is what I have.

Okay, a couple questions...how do I test this purple wire? Do I ground on one side and put the other on the purple wire? And also, which contacts are you speaking of possibly being dirty?

I can email (if my camera will shoot since it is back now) the TS flow chart if you want.
