Hi everyone,

I've replaced my broken 1970 fuse box with a rewired 1972 after being handed back a mess of wires by the mechanics that said they would fix things. Everything works but my hazard lights and turn signals.

I replaced the emergency flasher switch, which was definitely bad, and I even got the exact same one as the original.

Now when I turn on the hazard lights I have power leaving the switch, going to and entering the flasher relay, but I have no power leaving the relay.

I bought a cheap one at autozone to see if it would work, but I get the same result: no power leaving the relay, no turn signals, no hazard lights.

I am mystified!

Please help!
