Hey everyone, I have a 76 Dodge sportsman rv, the wipers and turn signals would just stop working randomly at the same time. If one doesn't work the other doesn't either, now both will not work at all. Wondering if it's a relay, or the moter, or a ground etc. Any ideas of ehere to start to find the issue. Thx James

 

Are both on the same switch?

 

It could be your switch but back then I think they were separate. With the age of the vehicle, it may be just your relays (flasher unit) going bad They are the old thermal relays and they just wear out. I'd slap a couple of new ones in and see what happens. If you go with solid state though, you'll have to check your bulbs from time to time. Solid state won't light up and stay lit when one is burned out like the thermal ones will.

 

Sounds like a start. Gonna give that a try, let you know how it goes. Thx

 

They are usually round things in or by the fuse block. Normally, they were round but I've seen square ones too. Make sure you get one with the same number of prongs. Now, they are mostly 3 prong but back then there were a lot of two prong units
