Turn Signal Problems now in '81

[C3Vette Lady]

Ok, all you experts! I need some more help. When I took my '81 in to be painted, the turn signals worked perfectly along with all the other lights (minus the inside dome). When I got it back, the turn signals didn't work inside on the dash or outside. Checked all the bulbs, replaced the flasher, what else should I try? The emergency flashers work but the back up lights do not now either. Already tried doing a search on here under C3 turn signals, but nothing showed up. Thanks mucho!

Lanelle,
My $$ would be on a poor ground connection. "Turn Signals" Since they worked before the paint job, and don't work now.....

• Shop used the wrong bulbs
• Left ground connections off
• Light sockets need cleaning or replaced

Check the common ground point near the drivers door up under the dash, also the ground point on the frame in the back under the rear bumper assy.

Have a little discussion with the Paint Shop!
