[Vwdiesel] 81 vw pickup turn signals do not work; cluster light displays solid green

[ken1]

Sandy:
The 1981 and 1982 diesel pickups used the grey fuse block with two-pronged fuses. The Turn signal fuse is #10 with a 15A fuse and the hazard lights is a 15A fuse at #24. I will double check the fuses on Saturday and document the flasher relay and the emergency flasher switch. I think that if I pull the turn signal connector and test the power pin with a test light, that should verify that power is getting to the turn signal switch, but am at a loss for what to do next. I suppose if there is no power at the pin, I should try to find the source of power to the turn signal connector.

(Been there!)

If your hazard lights are working, but turn sigs are not, check fuse #8.

Hazard fuse is #6 (OK?),  T-sigs, #8.

If it uses the old style rabbit fuses, with the naked metal strip on the 
plastic or ceramic body, could be making a bad contact.

Basically, the problem is between the fuse panel, through the sig sw, to 
the back of the hazard switch.
Did you mess with the turn signal sw, or other steering column 
wires/plugs. Those are  shitty connectors, and easily plugged wrong, or 
pins bent.
