Strange..... The title says "Left " signal problem. And then it turns out to be a problem with the Right Light. Is that like the New Math that confuses some of us OLD GUYS ? 454 RATTLER |

?have to hold the turn signal lever up until it starts flashing but then I can let it go.? When letting go the turn signal lever, holds the position, and bulb continues to flash..?... Turn the wheel it cancels, it's working. Holding and waiting you are just seeing the time it is taking for the circuit to heat the flasher. Set the signal and forget, by the time you are ready to make your move it will be flashing These are what ifs: You could replace the flasher may or may not help, cut the delay. The contacts of the signal switch could be dirty, because of none usage (truck not driven) . Put a few miles on it using the sigals and it will take care of itself. Maybe the last owner only made LH turns, the RH not being used the contacts are a little dirty, again driving will help Happy motoring drive and enjoy the truck. That was fun Pep |

| zippi | My day started out great and just continued to get better. Got out of my car at work and saw a penny on the parking lot. You know the old saying....see a penny pick it up all day long you'll have good luck. Had a good day a work and when I got home I took some advise off this thread. I removed the turn signal and cleaned the wires and reinstalled everything. You got it....turn signal now works. I do have to hold the turn signal lever up until it starts flashing but then I can let it go. All lights on the truck now work. I am a happy camper. I guess my question now is, is it the turn signal lever that is worn out or something else inside the column? | |

Is the bulb in the turn signal 1157, if yes it has 2 functions, turn & parking lights With R selected what is the rear brake light doing? On steady as if the brake is applied ...?... if yes the front bulb is most likely the problem. You have not told us what the lights look like with parking lights selected. That is an important question that needs an answer. Pep |

| zippi | Thanks for the reply's guys. It's going to be a few days before I can get to it. I know nothing about wiring or how to use a meter but I'll pull the lens back off and check the ground wire and I"ll take a look at the fuse box. | |

Stock dash wiring for a Squarebody truck (your '84 donor) has a ground wire and ground bus under the dash for the instrument panel, and if its not connected it causes exactly the problem you are having. Since you only have the steering column from the truck it might be a little different, but its a common problem on the trucks when someone decides to "clean up" the wiring. Bruce |

front turn signals have their own contact because they always work, rears cancel brake light on operating turn side. Turn signal switched are pretty cheaply built, a contact molded in nylon part. Age and heat take a toll on plastic. Many times I have seen the contact melting into the nylon and loosing connection. First I would probe the socket, with a test lamp, then connections, working your way to the switch. When you get to the plug at the steering column, you should have 2 wires that light up during turn, the rear will light up as turn when switch is in turn position and as brake lamp in center position. |

What is the stop light doing turn signal working? Parking light, what are the RH & LH front lights doing? With head lights on, both front parking lit? Back in the day, one of turn signal light would stay on, if the other was blown (rear or front). The flasher would not heat and flash. Because the load, of 2 bulbs was not present. GM WHITE --- WHITE--- BRAKE LIGHT GREEN --- VIOLET --- RIGHT REAR SIGNAL YELLOW --- PINK --- LEFT REAR SIGNAL VIOLET --- YELLOW --- SIGNAL FLASHER BROWN --- NOT USED DK BLUE --- DK BLUE--- RIGHT FRONT SIGNAL <<<<< LT BLUE--- LT BLUE--- LEFT FRONT SIGNAL BLACK --- GREEN--- HORN GRAY--- GRAY--- DASH LIGHTS Pep |

| zippi | It is the front right turn signal. When I turn the headlights on it lights up. It's just the turn signal will not work. Think maybe under the steering wheel the turn signal switch could be bad? The steering column is out of a 84 Chevy truck. | |

Bad socket, bad ground... Try running a temp ground jumper and see if it works. Russ |
