Nice weather here this weekend on the eastern shore of Md. So...Charged the battery, took the cover off, top down and fired it up. Fired right up and took a short spin. No turn signals. Had just fixed the horn on the last drive so WTF. New flasher bought and installed. Still not working and noticed wipers not working either... so something more to fix in the garage this winter. I'll get the disc brakes put in when my knee gets back in bending shape plus redoing some of the interior. Now I just need to find anyone who still has the old loop pile brown and black carpet that needs replacing on this old IM so I don't have to replace it all. Damn mice. But I am still smiling!!!!!

Rowan, Many others, more knowledgeable, will pipe in here. I know nothing about 12V circuitry. But, at members here encouraging, I replace several relays and solved multiple problems. They are CHEAP parts. Merry Christmas- Art

I know this sounds obvious, but start by checking the fuses...Al

And I am jealous, btw; it's too wet and cold (4? 5?' above freezing) and not enough snow on any of the local mountains for skiing...

It's 13.6* outside and dropping right now and I haven't been out in the garage for weeks. I don't weld below freezing and tromping through wet snow to the shop doesn't help matters much. Going to work on my novel for a bit, enjoy the time off between terms at my college, go antiquing with my awesome wife and CAD out a e-brake lever I have in the basement.
