My buddy just went thru something funny with his S10 turn signal
flasher. One side worked as it was supposed to, turn the turn
signal lever to the other direction and the turn signal bulbs
would turn on for that side, but stayed on and did not flash.
Turned out the wire going into the socket assy was nearly shot
and not getting the full juice. It was found by wiggling the
wires around after exhausting all other attempts to find the
short or broken wire/connection somewhere. If none of your
signal lights work, then this reply post doesn't pertain to your
situation. Good luck.

Hey, Thanks to both. These are some good instructions/directions. I do
appreciate the time taken to advise.

Right now the turn signals (both sides) go at varying speeds. Very fast,
like you are connected to a trailer and it's pulling lots of juice, then
slow, then it will actually stop. I thought it was a battery problem, but I
checked and I seem to be holding good voltage and when the engine is running
it's right at 14.5. Some of the other forums I checked were vague on
location. (Somewhere by your left foot, behind glove box, pull 3 or 4
panels, etc.)

No I never did fix the radio/wiper issue. it's getting worse now.
Sometimes when the wipers are in the upright position the radio will short
out. Has to be the wiper motor. I'll fix it too in the near future. Just
hate to be one of these "change things 'til the problem goes away" owners...

That radio thing was strange. Something that can pull enough power to cause
the radio to shut down surely should blow a fuse or circuit breaker.
Surprised someone remembered that I had posted that one.


Thanks again.

Brad

Have you tightened all the Ground (black) wires under the dash ?? my '84
S-10 Blazer and my '94 S-15 Jimmy have both needed the lugs tightened
when various strange problems would start up.

Thank-you everyone. I followed the instructions and went right to the
flasher unit. Very clear and informative! Appreciate the help. Ready to
tackle something else now. Like those wipers or that craze gas guage that
doesn't work right..... unless the key is off....

Maybe a bad ground connection at the tank. Also happened to my
buddy(?)'s S10. Actually a lot was wrong with his S10.
