A couple of you replied about my emergency flasher problems on my 1979 GMC 7000. Spent a few minutes today checking out the connector strip at the base of the steering column. Found the power for the regular turn signals. And it has power only when the switch is on. Found the left turn signal wire and the right turn signal wire. Found the horn wire. I believe you guys said the brown wire should be for the emergency flashers. I assume the brown wire should light up my test light at the splice? Right? It doesn't. Or, is the brown wire on the ground side? If the brown wire is on the positive side shouldn't I be able to run a hot wire to the brown wire and make all of the flashers work (operate in solid light not blinking) if the emergency flasher switch is pushed in?? What are the other wires for?? There is one next to the horn wire I don't know what it does. Also, I think there is another wire down past the L and R turn signal wires I didn't figure out. Remember the L and R turn signals work as they should. The horn works. The emergency flashers did work late last summer. Once in a while when I push the emergency flasher button in I am sure/think the flasher switch might make a blinking sound once or twice. Any other ideas? Any tests I should run? Thanks - Andy
