Thanks, Fred NOAZZ! I just downloaded mine and it IS the most comprehensive manual I've ever seen. It's 93MB and took forever to download with my stupid DSL, but well worth it! I just printed section 8j for the turn signal and hazard flasher circuits and it's 13 pages! I think if I were to print out the entire manual, I'd run out of paper and ink several times.
Just reading thru section 8j, I think I've figured out a problem I've had for over a year with my left turn signal which doesn't want to work unless it's warm inside the car. All points to corroded spade contacts on the combination flasher or a bad flasher. I'm thinking bad connections because I can get it to work by turning on the 4-ways, then turning them off while still having the left signal engaged. It's confusing to other driver's in the middle of an intersection. There was a couple of times I just left the 4-ways on and used a hand signal! I've already replaced the combo-switch.
