Well of course the job is neve done. After getting it running now the fun stuff. I am at loss. I can't seem to get any power to the turn signal flasher. I have replaced the flasher the headlight switch, and fixed the ground problem at the back tail lights. But when you turn the signals on nothing. If you turn the emergency flashers on, all the light flash fine. If you turn the parking lights on all the light are on. But the funny thing is if you turn the parking lights on, the dash indicator for the right turn signal comes on in the center position. If you push the right turn signal on up and down you can get the lights to flash. but nothing to the left. I also removed the steering wheel to see if the swithch looked broken or burnt. It did not. Another thing is i have 3 extra wires coming off the switch which have no where to go. A red,yellow,brown. Any ideas. I am going to keep looking but I really do not know where to start.  ------------------

My Sacnner is down..well I have re-installed it..But I have taken several photos and I cannot get them clear enough to be any help.
I'll see if anyone at works has a scanner and have them scann it for me.
Sorry this is taking so long.

well i pulled the steering wheel off and i have power to the horn circuit like the diagram says. I found a electric book at the store but is still a little hard to dicifer. On the drawing of the 1968 turn signals page, what is the incoming power circuit. I think it is the blue one(44). I do not have power on that one but if you jump to the white/red(385), which has power and i think is the em flasher circuit the turn signals blink like they should only using the hazard flasher. I still have no power at the turn signal flasher. I also noticed that when i turn the head lights on the front parking light goes out but the side markers stay on. Is this the way it is suppose to be or what. ANy help would be appreicated.eric

On the drawing of the 1968 turn signals page, what is the incoming power circuit. I think it is the blue one(44).On page 2-E7 I see a 44 which goes to the signal switch but I can't tell the position of it (power on/off) Check and see if you have power on 44 at the Male/Female connector under the dash.the one that goes up the Steering column MELLOW you near by..your eyes better than mine? I do not have power on that one but if you jump to the white/red(385), which has power and i think is the em flasher circuit the turn signals blink like they should only using the hazard flasher. 385 is separte (well it looks like it on this digram). I still have no power at the turn signal flasher.
Looking at the Flasher on this diagram and tracing the wire it appears to have no number given.
whats the color of the wires that lead to the Flasher? I also noticed that when i turn the head lights on the front parking light goes out but the side markers stay on. Is this the way it is suppose to be or what. Been so long since I drove my Fb I can't remember but I think that is correct..the parking lights go off the headlights on and side markers stay on. I'll drop my brother an e-mail to come here..he's the one I call when I have an electrial problem maybe he can explain it better than I,but it will be Mon. before he checks his e-mail..works with Puters and avoids them on weekends
He also has a 68 convertible so I'm sure he'll be familar with the problem. sam [This message has been edited by mustangs68 (edited 09-21-2002).]

One the page 2-E7 where is the connection or 296,8,137,140,490 which is located next to the fuse panel. Also i checked the fuses and they where good and was getting 12v on both sides to ground. Again thanks for your help
I will check the blue wire(44) tomorrow to see if i have power.

One the page 2-E7 where is the connection or 296,8,137,140,490 which is located next to the fuse panel.
LOL..I'm getting "dazed and confused" from all these numbers The Male/Felmale Connector I'm looking at on 2-E7 is upper center right below the fuse box,with coded wires Number (reading from the top to botom) 511/44/5/50/3/9/49/2/385/460/482 on the left side of the connector leading to the Steering Column. Are you more confused that before..if not you should be

Brandon,
These Electrical problem are IMHO the worst problem any Classic Car owner can have.
Past Owners have spliced,cut or removed wiring and it's a PITA to correct some of these past errors short of pulling the entire harness out and replacing it.
The print is so small in these Books and the quality of the paper don't help either.

Well i feel really stupid. I started following the wires around the car that feed the flasher. I checked the fuse and guess what it was corrodied in the fuse block so was not getting a good connection. At least they work now. Sorry sam for all the numbers thing but thanks for all your help. I know to check that stuff first as well instead of assuming that it was making a good connection. Going for a family crusie this evening. thanks again untill the next problem. ------------------
