Driving home last night and the left turn signal started fading in and out the stopped working so i checked the bulbs they are fine now im at a loss any ideas what to check next?

Grounds are the biggest issues on these pigs. Start at the light mount and check all the grounds to the chassis first. Could be just the ground, could be a trun sig. lever, could be the flasher unit. Does the RH side work OK, is it just the front or rear?

Just the one side? I ask because I had a wire going to the cannon plug go bad and all the signals stopped working.

its just the left side front and rear. the right side works fine no hazards to

I had to take my switch apart and clean it, not to hard.

I just fixed a similar problem on mine.

First check to see that the lights and wiring are OK.
Unscrew the wire harness from the blinker handle on the steering column.
Make a small jumper wire 3" long or so.

Check the lights by sticking the wire in G (hot) and then each light one at a time:
G=hot
A=front pass
B=front driver
C=rear driver
E=rear pass

If they all work try this:

1. Remove blinker handle from steering column
2. Remove 4 screws and open up housing
3. Use a small strip of fine sand paper to clean the spring contacts on both sides. (You'll see what I mean when you open it up).

This fixed it for me.

Good luck!
