Hi,

I just bought this 84 300 d turbo diesel and am trying to figure out
why the turn signals and hazzards don't work. I checked the lamps and
looked for the fuses but couldn't find one marked for the turn signal
etc. Besides, all the fuses look good or are now good (I changed a
few).
Is there anything else simple that I can check (beyond getting into
tracing an electrical problem)?
Thanks!

click the hazards off  & on about 10 times
it helps clean the points

the case, minus a few cans!

Dead or missing flasher.

Also, fuses may LOOK good but sometimes aren't.

I thought it might be the flasher too. when I looked around for it
(behind and under the steering wheel) I didn't see anything that I was
*SURE* is the flasher. Can someone describe what it looks like and
where it is on this car please?

thanks!

It is located in front of the automatic transmission shifter underneath the
wood.  You will need to remove the wood trim panel from the console to
access it.

I was thinking about this this morning and it struck me that it is most
likely NOT the flasher... don't ask why it took so long for me to get
to this... since the actual lights themselves aren't even coming on
(yes, I changed the bulbs).

Again, I didn't see a listing for those lights or the flasher in the
fuse box. Does anyone know which fuse would control these or other
things I should check?
Thanks!

Have you tried just replacing the switch for the hazard lights? A
disconnected or burned out hazard light switch makes you lose both
hazards and turn signals...at least on the w126.

open fuse box & flip it over
there should be a list of where they go.
or what they run sorry
9 times out 10 it is the flasher switch so keep mashing on & off.

the case, minus a few cans!

Why not just replace it? $22 at your friendly stealership.
