hello everyone, 1970 Rallye.... I got all the lights to go on... but at least I found the brake pedal arm button was not connected. but still can't get the Flasher to work? does anyone have any suggestions?

thank you

Which flasher, directional or hazard lights? The flasher unit located near the steering column is for the direction.al, the mounted on the fuse block is the hazards. Have you changed the one that corresponds to your issue? They can be swapped for troubleshooting

Hello,

shouldn't the FLASHER ASSEMBLY just pop out of the fuse terminal? Flashers dont work so I fugured taking it out spraying some contact cleaner and plugging it back in?

Thank you

Sometimes the flasher itself needs replacing. Do they just stay on or nothing at all?

oldcutlass

I merged your 2 threads. Yes the hazard light flasher can just pulls out.

Hondo

thank you oldcutlass, trying to pull out but the sucker wont move? it feels like im going break the fuse panel?

Disconnect the battery and gently pry under it with a small screw driver.

Hondo

Thank you again oldcutlas

The flasher can also be removed by gently rocking the unit side to side while pulling straight out.

Hondo

ALLAN R. Tried that approach and felt like it was going to disintegration in my hand.

Try grabbing it & wiggling it out w/ a pair of channel lock pliers.

I guess you want me to purchase a new FLASHER ASSEMBLY. Vintage Chief LOL

Without a picture, it's difficult to know the condition of your fuse box. I've seen some where I've questioned how anything at all is working.

At any rate, if you're going to these lengths to remove the flasher ensure you disconnect the battery as (the other) Eric has already mentioned.

Here is the picture of the fuse and also made a drawing on it.

Not so bad. A little worse than mine - several fuse holders are showing rust/pitting, but I've seen seriously worse cases. The flasher most likely hasn't been changed in several decades - it's going to take some effort - probably has corrosion/oxidation in the socket and on the flasher socket contacts - be persuasive.

And, please BTW, don't spray contact cleaner on the flasher once you get it removed - buy a brand new flasher (and, apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the contacts).

Thank you Sir.. Vintage Chief
