Wonderin if one of you guys could help me figure this out. Im not too handy when it comes to the wiring, so heres my problem.

Last week my horn stops working. Then I realize the fuses for the blinkers and emergency lights are blown. When I stick a new one in for the blinkers, the left blinker works fine, but when I put the right blinker on, it blows the fuse. What could my problem be?

Check your headlight wiring harness grounds.(on the core support) They are attached to the same in the same harness as the horns. Also check the firewall connectior for moisture. it is below the wiper motor. Otherwise I would suspect a bad light socket pigtail or something.

Seems to me that something could be grounding out in that right turn signal circuit. Check your positive leads for your signal and brake lights as well.

My guess is that it's in the turn signal switch, they get kinda nasty after 30 years!

Yeah, that's possible too, but I was voting for the easier check first :lol: A good way to check for that would be to unplug the harness on the column before you actually tear into it
