Cartunman Backyard Mechanic Registered: 10/13/03 Posts: 238 Loc: Omaha, NE	Hello, I have a mystery to solve and hope you can help. I have had my 57 210 sedan for about a month. I noticed the turn signals were rather slow so I replaced the flasher this week. They were working just fine and then they quit. They do cancel for a left hand turn but not a right. Could the unit in the steering column need replacing? I checked the fuse, could not tell if there was on in the fuse block for it so I checked them all and they seem to be intact. I checked the front bulbs and seem to be OK. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, _________________________ Playin' with my 57 in Omaha Tom Johnson 1957 Chevy 210 Sedan

You can also use a multimeter to see if you have current going to the flasher unit. Your problem could also be in the steering column. _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

I thought the same but having the old one that did work when I replaced it must not have wanted to play along. I bought a better one so maybe this one will last a little longer. Thanks again. _________________________ Playin' with my 57 in Omaha Tom Johnson 1957 Chevy 210 Sedan

RichardJ Backyard Mechanic Registered: 05/09/11 Posts: 394 Loc: Colorado	Did you also take care of the problem with it not cancelling on one side? That is often caused by the plastic piece in the steering column breaking off on one side. It's an easy fix if the part is available. Should be. _________________________ Richard Commerce City, CO
