I very much appreciate the help from the list with my turn signal problem.
This is to let you know, I think I know what the problem is. After looking
at the wiring diagram in Rick Astley's book (MGB Electrical Systems) I
noticed the turn signals are wired through the hazard switch. Just before
the turn signals quit I was showing a friend the dash. I was showing him
what switches worked and which didn't. One of the switches that has never
worked was the hazard switch. I clicked it back and forth to show him.
Right after that the turn signals quit. Until I looked at the wiring
diagram I did not put it together. I just went out to the car to see if I
rocked the switch back and forth maybe the turn signals would start
working. Instead the switch broke internally and refused to move. It
lasted 52 years. No complaints. I have ordered a new switch from Moss.
We'll see if that fixes it. I might even get hazard flashers out of it too=
