This group provides a forum for owners and operators of diesel powered motorhomes and 5th wheel tractors to discuss mechanical issues, regulatory issues (US, Canada), ownership, insurance, campground accommodations, trip reports/suggestions, and other topics relevant to large RVs and the people who drive them.
I agree. Even swap the fuse just for fun.
I spent the better part of a day on the horn fuse. It looked fine, but didn't pass any electricity through it.

My 1982 300CD turbo coup's turn signals have stopped working. I have checked the fuse panel and don't have any blow fused. When I turn the signal on, either left or right (the only two options) I get nothing. No interior turn signal indicator, no intermittent click, no light on in the front or rear.
I would assume the problem is the flasher, but I have not located what I thought looked like a flasher under the dash. I had searched the board for location of the flasher unit and it sounds like it is near the steering column. I have looked somewhat in that general direction but have found nothing giving a very cursory look.
So, someone help me with the most mundane of questions. I have found that hand signals are not commonly understood here in Houston.

Ok, I am stupid. I went back and checked my emergency flasher after I had posted my first message about the signal lights. I found that it had been on, probably turned it on without realizing it. But...it was not working and neither were my signals. After I turned it off, I got my signal lights back, but one side blinks very quickly while the other side is working normally. The side that blinks quickly actually is flashing quickly outside, front and back. That use to mean one of the bulbs was bad, but they are lighting up.
What up with this?

It's pretty obvious .
Don't forget to have a spare rockerbox gasket handy ~ they're rubber and often get really hard & then begin leaking as soon as you R & R the rockerbox .
Stepped feeler gauges help lots too .
