Hey guys, here's the break down of my car:
1987 2.3l car
5.0 swapped
Previous owner says it has a 91 engine/dash harness
A9l
1993 multifunction switch
The issue:
I'm restoring this car and dealing with all sorts of electrical issues - all of which I have figured out EXCEPT the turn signals!
What is happening:
The hazards DO work, but the turn signals do not; they don't flash on the dash, relay doesn't click, and the lights themselves don't go off. The MF switch that came with the car didn't work at all, except for turning on the brights - I replaced it with a newer unit from a 93 and now the wipers work, so that makes me think that MF switch was bad. New MF switch = wipers work, brights work, still no signals. So, I replaced the turn signal flasher with a parts store unit - no change.
What I need to know:
I have heard the plugs for the multifunction switch are different between 87-89 and 90-93...but supposedly I have a 91 dash harness so the 93 MFS I have should work, but the signals still don't work!
Is there an easy easy to tell the difference between an 87 dash harness, and a 91 harness as far as wire colors go???
Could the issue be with the Ignition switch? I haven't replaced it yet, but it's on a short list of possible problems.
Anything else besides ignition switch or multifunction switch wiring that could be my issue???
