Hey thanks to you folks for helping with your comments on solving my turn signal
<always on> problem.
I think I got all the info needed now to figure this one out ..when I have that
hour to spend working on the truck.
For now, the main part of the signaler does work which is better than it has
been for several months.
It is a regular 'driver' around town so having a signaler is a 'must' as I hate
using hand signals.
