Does anyone know what supplies power to the turn signal circuit and what color the wires are that does it?turn signals completely dead and can't get victory to say my life..thanks!
It is a fairly complex circuit but there are a few points along the path that you can check for voltage to narrow down the problem area.
This is based on my '83 but '82 should be similar if not the same.
I would begin by testing for potential at fuses 30 through 34. If you have power here skip to step 6 & 8.
1. With ignition on, test at the CE panel pin E7 (solid red) to verify switched power and E8 (solid black) should have constant 12v. These are the color coded plug connectors at the bottom with wires coming out. You will not be disconnecting anything, only put your probe into the correct connector to contact the metal terminal inside and ground your other probe to any chassis ground such as the bolts above the CE panel where the grounds are bolted down. See the key below for pin numbering.
Those two wires feed the emergency flasher switch in the pod. You could test for power from the same red and black wires at the switch but for now you can make another test at the CE panel that will show whether power is getting through that switch or not.
2. With the switch unactivated, power flows through the switch and back to the CE panel to pin E3 (black/yellow). Test then push in the emergency switch and test again for 12v.
3. If good so far, remove the turn signal relay (V) and test terminal 49 (fed from E3 in the last step) to 31 (ground). The pins on the relay should be labeled.
4. If good, reinstall the relay and test pin E4 (2x black/white/green). If good, this proves the relay is working, if not replace it. You may be able to bypass it for now by installing a jumper between terminal 49 and 49a but DO NOT DO THIS unless someone else confirms this is correct. If you do have power here these wires go back to the emergency flasher switch and turn signal stalk.
5. Turn on your turn signal to the left. Now test E5 (black/white). This feeds fuse 30 & 31 which you can test as well.
6. Next test N3 (black/white) this is front left turn signal and S3 (black/white) for rear left turn signal. The last test would be to remove those bulbs and test power to ground in the bulb socket.
7. For the right turn signals and test E6 (black/green). This feeds fuse 32 & 33. Test these.
8. Next test N4 (black/green) for front right turn signal and S4 (black/green) for rear right turn signal. The last test would be to remove those bulbs and test power to ground in the bulb socket.
That is a great diagnostic tool and it led me to the problem.I had the odometer reset switch in the hazard switch.followed the wiring like you explained and found I had the wrong switch installed after a guage refresh.thanks for the wiring testing.a great tool!swapped the two switches and presto! Full functioning turn and hazards!
Great result! This was based only on the wiring diagrams. Get the 5CD set from Roger with all the workshop manuals, wiring diags, etc. if you haven't already. The drawings are hard to understand at first but once you learn the layout they are very logical and essential for any kind of troubleshooting. You will get a lot of opportunities for practice with these cars
