Hey Guys,
I'm having trouble figuring where to begin unscrambling this egg.
Long story short, my turn signals don't work anymore. They flash fine when you turn on the hazards, but get nothing when you actually operate the directional lever on the steering column (ie actually communicate to other drivers that you are turning.)
There is one thread on here that describes an almost identical problem, but didn't really seem to go anywhere, at least that I could tell/understand. You can read it here: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/turn-signal-cam-now-no-blinkers.840052/#post-8455811 .
I also found two wiring diagrams that are somewhat useful, but still hard to understand for someone of my experience. I included them below:

1967 Wiring Schematic: http://averagejoerestoration.com/resources/mustang-wiring-and-vacuum-diagrams/1967-mustang-wiring-and-vacuum-diagrams/67exter1.jpg
One last (possibly) important detail: I had a no-BS security system installed last week (http://www.autopageusa.com/t_inside...4&prodID=9d4674a3-5d32-4b3e-9f86-415b69298e0d), could that have caused the problem? I am not saying that the turn signals stopped working right after the installation - it could have been before and i didn't notice - but I do know that they worked relatively recently and now they don't, with the install of the security system being the only main event that has transpired since they worked.
So, where to start? Are there any troubleshooting procedures I can go through before dropping $100 on a new turn signal switch? Can I be sure that a new turn signal switch would even fix the problem?
Thanks!
Tyler
