Turn Signal Question

Post by HuntingtonSpider »

In attempting to put my dash back together I failed to connect the speedo cable as my speedometer does not work. I did connect the terminal to the speedometer though, which is getting power, as the green light turns on when turning the car on. However the turn signals aren't working now, would this be connected to the speedo cable being disconnected, or a separate issue I messed up along the way. Thanks

The speedometer cable does not have any connection to the turn signals. You must have missed something or knocked a ground wire loose. Check the grounding pod near the instrument panel along side of the steering column.
