Can't seem to get my signals to work. The hazard switch works and all the lights blink, but when I try left and right, nothing. I checked every ground I can think of and cleaned the connections. I ju

Bad ground at the lamps? Mine are getting slower and more hesitant to switch on. Time for the annual cleanup... -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're near Mountain View, CA, it's the primer red on

Max may have it. When the hazard switch is on and the lamps flashing check to make sure they are all bright. All four lamps may be enough to trigger the hazard flasher unit, but two lamps with poor g

I had similar problems with my '79B. I checked all the wiring and grounds, replaced the switch with new. Nothing. Then I put in a new signal flasher, and it has worked perfectly since. Can't seem to

If neither side works at all not even glowing with the turn signals, but the hazard signals flash all four corners, it is probably the hazard switch, power for the turn signals comes through this whe

The feedback on my turn signal problem has been helpful, but I just can't seem to get the suckers to work. I have re-wired my entire car twice ( we won't talk about why I had to do it twice), and I a

Start with the two greens (these are MGB colours, can't be sure how close they are to yours) on the hazard switch. With the hazards off and the ignition on both these should have 12v. If only on one

Note to all who need to know more electrical bits and don't have the tools: Harbor Freight has a cheap volt-ohm meter that is all the precision and quality needed for our trouble shooting. And its de

Hmm, the story about the wreck implies to me that the front wings may be electrically isolated from the chassis. That is, there is no path to ground, due to paint, packing or rubber welting. Try runn

FWIW, Those multi-testers all seem to suffer from a very poor function selector switch. I thought they were cheap enough to keep as a disposable in the tool box of every vehicle I own. But you just n

In that case although the fronts wouldn't light at all the rears would light but not flash. Would also affect the front parking lights, unless they are in the headlights as per later models. PaulH. -

Whilst the panel lamps and wipers not working could be due to a common ground fault, there is no connection between that ground and the turn signals. Neither would removing the heater have any effect
