My turn signals stopped working

On my 53 Hornet Sedan, I can no longer hear the relay clicking, and nothing happens when I use the indicators. The car is a good quality original machine and so the wiring has not been butchered upon. I suspect that the flasher has died, and I am not seeing anything under the dash that looks like the barrel flasher relays I've seen before. Where should I be looking and did they use anything weird? The factory wiring diagram does not mention turn signals, which supports the idea that they were a dealer installed option.

  • Turn signals are indicated with a wiring diagram in your owner's manual. Check what Ken said and also check for proper grounding. Also, If your flasher indicator is clamped onto the frame, you need to isolated the flasher canister from the clamp.
