[Zmagnette] Turn signal question

[Rodger Shaver]

John, You helped me by confirming what I thought about the wiring to and from the relay box.  My wire connections were correct in the relay but the gap between the points was too wide at the left turn connection.  I narrowed that down and now everything is working as it should.  Thanks.  Rodger

Rodger:
          The turn signals share the same filament as the stop lights.       If the brake lights are working, then the wiring from the turn      signal relay, and the bulb are operational.  The click in the      signal relay would seem to indicate that the switch and stator      wiring are correct.  Are you sure of your connections to the      signal relay.  Here's a diagram of how the terminals on the relay      should be connected.  If the wires are connected correctly, you      may need to remove the cover on the relay to make sure someone has      not reversed the cover at some point as was done on my ZA.  I also      cleaned all of the points in my signal relay with some fine crocus      cloth and lightly coated them with anti-ox paste using a Q-tip and      have not had any issues in the past 7 years with turn signals.

Rodger, Have you tried a bulb swap?  If it clicks it should        flash.  Sometimes you can get so frustrated you forget the        obvious.  Arch

This car is going to make me crazier.  The stator                tube re-working is done, the right turn lights function                perfectly.  When I turn the lever to the left there is a                click at the signal relay but no lights and no                flashing.  This occurs with both the signal relay                original to this car and with the relay original to my                other Magnette.  The bulbs look intact, the brake and                running lights work normally.  
              
 
              
Does the click at the relay mean the stator tube                wiring and switch in the steering hub are functioning as                they should?  What do I check next?  Rodger
