Thanks, Randall, with your help, and further perusal of the wiring diagram,
everything's working. But here's the wierd thing: while I was looking around, I
decided to clean the contacts on the license plate bulb holder, which made it
work also, and voila, I had complete working lights. Before cleaning, and with
the same wiring, the driver's side turns signal worked fine, but the
passenger's would "click" once from the flasher, the front light wouldn't
flash, and the rear would flash twice as fast, but no clicking from the flasher
unit itself. Once I cleaned the contacts, and freshened the orange wire on the
license bulb holder, everything works, for the first time in about 9 months...
Go figure.
Anyway, my thanks for getting me started on the right wiring path, and now it's
time for a drive!
Best, Kevin Browne
