Info needed: M38A1 flasher/signal unit on the steering column

[Les Kovacs]

Hi Rob....thanks for the connector pics (nothing better than a pic)...I have done some research and came up with Erik Military Supplies.....they have original Packard Military connectors male & female with the rubber casing....to look OEM....I have gone through the jeep and there were may exposed blinker wires that required a new connector or casing so I ordered a whole bunch which leads me to my next question...

As in Christmas light bulbs of the 50's to 80's, if one bulb was burnt out the whole tree went out and you had to find the bad bulb....question...could the whole blinker system have gone out due to exposed wires leading to their respective lights?

I will have a fuse put into the old harness like in Wayne's picture in a couple of days....then I will see if the flasher or lever is the issue. Right now, with power the lever light stays on.....does this mean that there is a short? If so, any hints on how to trace the bad connection?

Thanks again,

les
