Hello everyone. finally I have installed new harness of turn signal with the new connector. Everything works fine but the right front still does not work. If I connect 24 v on the 460 cable in the control unit connector the turn signal gets light and the light bulb works well (logically fixed light), I understand that the wiress are fine. I am almost sure that the problem is in the two control units. Do you think that the both units can have the same failure?
do you think I could check it from within the unit control ?
Thank you for your help
Elmer

Hello everyone,
finally I was able to solve the problem I had in turn signal control. I bought one used in ebay and it worked fine.
I think I had the same problem in the two that I tried before because the two had the pin in the connector A sunk. I think that the main plug of the original harnes was damaged and sank this pin.I tested both turn signal controls with that main plug. After I changed this harnes by one new that Fil sent me.
Now everything works perfectly. Why is this turn signal control different from the one I had before? It has an internal system different from the other.
I send you a picture of the new turn signal control and also one of the connector where you can see the pin A sunk
Thanks for all
elmer

Different internals would be due to a different manufacturer. When the contract comes up for renewal the lowest bid wins and sometimes manufacturers change. The turn signal changed several times over the years.
