Helo Fellas, I have been eonjoying my commuter, the Datsun 1978 B210, and recently the Turn Signal is failing to turn on my passanger side turning lights!! it only work for the Driver side light, and some times it does work for the passanger side, but, I think I do need to install a new one.

 

I try to clean it the other day while I was replacing the ignition sweetch, but still dosn't work.

 

any especial autoaprts place were I can find this part?

 

thanks.

Ive got one if you cant find it new, I see nos ones on ebay often.

this may be a jerk question to ask, but you have checked the bulb right?

I've never seen one go bad, but seen many work intermittently. Take the column cover off and tighten the switch to the column (two screws on the column). You may find it is loose. Inspect it carefully.

 

If the connections to front or rear or instrument panel bulb is loose/corroded it can work intermittently too.
