Installed Toms Steering Wheel, now Turn Signals Don't Work.

[J-man]

shouldn't be on very tight, pull evenly while wiggling it mine always comes off pretty easily

 

[Mountain Ram]

Be careful with it. I used a small puller and it stripped the threads out and I had to get creative...

Found my puller. Gonna get that hub off and see what the wiring looks like. Hopefully it will be easy to spot.

 

[ObscureMachine]

Okay, pulled the hub thing. My wipers work. No gauge lights. Emerg. flashers work, kinda. they're erratic and intermittent. No turn signals. No brake lights. Here are pics of the steering column and the wires coming out of the column. I have no idea what I'm looking for.

Thanks for help.

That column wiring is a mess.

Bust out the volt/ohm meter and start checking voltage and continuity with the switch in the different positions.

'74-'77 Column Connections
Blue=12v from turn flasher to turn switch, circuit #44
white-blue=right front turn and indicator lamp, circuit #2
green=right rear brake and turn lamp, circuit #282
green-white=left front turn and indicator lamp, circuit #3
yellow-black=left rear brake and turn lamp, circuit #283
red-black=12v brake switch to turn signal switch, circuit #810
blue-yellow=12v horn relay to horn switch, circuit #1
white-red=12v from hazard flasher to hazard switch, circuit #385
blue-red=12v from headlight switch to PRNDL light, #19

broke out the volt ohm meter.

Flasher switch. blue wire is hot. Two others cycle when flashers are on. (only flash when key is "on."

Nothing hot around the turn signal switch.

Gonna crawl under the dash now.

Thanks for the diagrams!

I have a Grant steering wheel and ever since replacing the bearings my left blinker works but does not cancel and my right works about half the time and cancels too soon. I'm thinking I just need to pull the wheel again and adjust it.

Yours sounds like it's not grounded.

where geographically (on the bronco), does the blinker ground?

I picked up a new turn signal switch from Toms Bronco Parts for $30 but I have not installed mine yet. Once I get the other 14 projects finished I'll tackle this one. Take note that there is a switch for manual transmission and a different one for automatic transmission.
