Lucas is playing his sick little game with me, too. Not two hours after I
bought my '79 spitfire, the turn signals stopped working, regardless of the
hazard lights - however the hazards work perfectly. This happen to anybody
else out there? Stupid switch.
I think just removing the plastic casing around there will give you enough
access to the switch for your horn/beam problem, but then...I've only had a
Spitfire for about 8 hours now, & still have a lot of exploring to do.
