    Does a 73 maverick have one or two flashers? I'm having issues with my turn signals. I just replaced the fuses and the turn signals still aren't working. Could it still be a ground issue possibly? My hazard lights are working perfect.

    Found the turn signal flasher, I took the flasher from the hazard flasher and put it in the turn, but no go. The hazard flasher tick tocs and the lights work great, but the turn signals do nothing no tic or flash.

    There is a loose wire.. I think that might be it. It's light blue and the wire connecting to the flasher is light blue, so idk i'm going to try to find out where the loose wire goes.
