I am just getting the turn signals back on my 79. When I activate the right turn signal it comes on steady. When I activate the left they don't come on but the relay buzzes. I've tried a different relay and canceling unit with the same results. Any suggestions? The connections are all clean.

All got the right globes? They gotta be the same........Can't remember what size, I guess the same as your right side ones.

Check all your earths, earths are usually the culprit!

Traced the wiring and found 2 wires in the turn switch unsoldered.
