if your turn signal flasher goes bad would the signal indicator on the dash still work? 2 weeks ago had turn signals and hazards, this week neither. and no "clicking" sound coming from the one flasher unit I located in the engine compartment, in a bracket,between the wheel well and the firewall. is that the turn signal flasher or is it actually inside the car near the drivers feet as indicated in Bentley book?
 
What year is your TR6. My 74 has them on the inside passengers footwell, just inside the firewall, behind the glovebox. Went to a round can type.
 
71 - i found a flasher unit in the passenger floor board with two green wire running from it through the firewall into the engine compartment to where the windshield washer unit once was. now the wires simply end there. i can't figure out how this got disconnected since i am the only one working on the car and for the life of me I don't see where either wire was previously connected!

can you tell me how many wires are connected to that flasher and which direction they head as they leave the flasher?
 
got it - at least 3 out 4 signals. 4th is probably a bulb. two things combined to throw me off...what should have been a green wire coming in had been changed by a PO to a red. and if you don't believe in LBC gremlins how about this...the same day the signals stopped working, the lamp for the indicator light fell out behind the dash. when i got the signals working suddenly there was a flashing light on my feet!!!
 
Hey Brent!

Consider yourself lucky with such a small problem.

The DPO of my TR used either black wires or stereo
speaker wire to make his "repairs". No original color
coded wires under the dash.

I feel your pain. This guy must have gotten a 100 foot spool of yellow and red wire on sale somewhere. When he installed a new steering wheel, he couldn't get the horn to work, so he ran 9 feet of yellow wire from the horn, directly to the battery, and then installed a "horn button" on the console in front of and below the stick shift - isn't that where everyone looks in a heated moment for the horn /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif I forgotto mention, to keep the wire from getting in the way of his feet, he tied (literally) it around the gas pedal!!!
