Help no turn signals

[weatherman]

I have purchased a '73 GT which had wiring issues so i bought an EZ WIRE harness and hooked everything up the way i thought it should go. Everything works except the turn signals. I dont know if i have the wires into the column hooked up wrong for the switch, the reason i say this is because i have wires hot for the signals IF the switch is OFF.
I have them hooked up like this:
IGN, COIL +, and ACC hooked into the black wire in the column
START to the black and red wire in the column
POWER to the red wire in the column.

Is this right? Is somthing hooked up wrong there, being the reason i dont have signals?

the car starts and runs and everything works correctly.

Thanks for the help, in advance,

Toby

if its a normal 4 pin switch you should have POWER first, then ACC, then IGN ,then START

i dont know the colours off hand but i think the ACC wire is gray

would not think of diagnostics from 3000 miles away but thats how a normal switch is wired

You didn't say if you had power to the turn lites only if the stalk is positioned to the left or right position or all the time. If it is only when the stalk is positioned left or right and the power is only to that side, then that is normal. It is the euro setup on all GTs so that you can have the lights for that side on when parked. Here's where it gets fun. The circuit for the turn signals is through the "hazard" switch, to the flasher, to the turn signal switch, then out to the lites and indicators in the dash. Here's the path: Power to the hazard switch comes from IP Black connector, Pin 2, Red wire, "Hot All The Time". From the hazard switch, Black/Red to Pin 49 on the flasher. Out of Pin 49a on the flasher, Black/White/Green to IP Black connector Pin 5, from there, to Steering Column Black Connector Pin 5, to the turn signal switch. Out of the switch, left turn lites are Black/White to Steering Column Black connector, Pin 4, to IP Black connector Pin 3, back to the fuse panel with no fuse to the signal lites. For the right turn lites, from the switch, Black/White wire to Steering Column connector, Pin 6 to IP Black connector, Pin 4, to the fuse panel, on the other side of the no fuse lugs, then out to the lites. Thank you J. J. Whealey for the DESTEC schematic. HTH.

I understand everything you said there Ron but will all of that still work with the EZ WIRE harness? Maybe all of this shot over my head and i should just go out and try and follow it. but isn't there just one flasher on the original GT wire harness? mine has 2, one for turn and one for hazard. Maybe i am just confusing myself and making everything more complicated....

Thanks

Well that does throw some garbage in to the mix, having two flashers. That requires some extensive reviewing of what you have versus what it was. The original wiring was for the flasher to operate both in the turn signals and hazard modes.

yup yup...i have everything else working and just took it for a test drive and everything seems to be good but those pesky signals and hazards....someone else must have had the same problem...hmmm


thanks
