Sounds like a pure case of Charles Dicken's revenge using, instead of the
Ghost of the Past, the Ghost of Lucas. Fitting for this time of the year,
don't you say? Better have Tiny Tim get into the harness and trace things
out! OR, do what I do - have a schnappes or two, go to bed, dream pleasant
dreams, think happy thoughts and tackle it in the morning. At least most of
the colors you cite are Christmas colors!

Subject: Double EE or Electrical Exasperation!!
You know, after you have done several you think you have things sorted to
some degree but then along comes the electrical gremlins and total
exasperation.
I just rewired an early model BJ8 (64) and can't get the turn signals to
hook
up correctly. I have gone back over the wiring several times checking to
make sure colors are correct etc. Everything looks good until I get to the
wires
coming out of the main harness and the ones coming out of the new
trafficator. No matches. I have the brown with black from the trafficator
going to the
purple with black from the harness. That is the horn. From there it is
straight down hill. From the trafficator I have a green with white stripe
and a
green with red stripe. I am assuming they just plug directly into their
corresponding counterparts on each turn signal. That leaves me with a green
with
brown coming out of the trafficator and 3 wires from the harness. A green
wire
(Hot), a green with yellow and a green with blue. No matches. What am I
missing here??
Going crazy in Branson,

Ps...I can hear noises from the flasher box when wires are hooked up a
certain way but no flashing and I can get the indicator to light up but it
seems far
too bright.
