[V8] V8 electrical: turn signals and stereo

Good call on the hazard switch guys. I popped the switch assy. out and I can 
get the turn signals to work by applying slight pressure on that socket.

As for the stereo, I'm leaning toward the probability that the internal 
switch pot (volume pot) is bad. When I turn it up the whole stereo turns 
off. Display and all. I had also already tried listening to that speaker 
relay while turning the radio on and letting it shut itself off. I didn't 
know if that relay was just for the speaker system or related to the head 
unit power too. So I was hoping to hear the relay discharge prior to the 
problem occuring. Unfortuntately I couldn't get anything conclusive from 
that.

Thanks for the help.
The turn signal problem was forcing me to drive my old Toyota pickup. At 
least I can fix that and drive the V8 again (legally and, for the most part, 
safely).
