Wiring
Yeah, I dont know if this is the right forum or not, but i think i can get the best answers here, my car's blinkers dont work properly. the front ones dont blink, and the rear ones dont even turn on. i dont know anything about wiring. could any of you help guide me in the right direction? also, how much would it cost to have a shop or something do it?

it was the flasher fuse, and a bad socket. the total cost was less than ten dollars. turns out wiring is not that hard.

its ugly, but if you know principles of electronic circuits it makes thing soo much easier, plus reading an electrical diagram doesnt hurt.

yeah reading a diagram for a fusebox is a nightmare, i have a couple chiltons when i needed to decipher bad wiring in my old camaro, ugly.
Glad to hear that you got it all fixed, and its nice to know that there are people out there who still have the wiring schematics for older cars.

well, electicity is like plumbing, you just can't see the water. Working on cars is safe because of the low voltage, but just be careful not to fry any sensors!

just like plumbing,
voltage = pressure
amperage = volume
and you have to have a complete "pipe" with no leaks
and you have to have a drain "ground"
