Happy Holidays Volks Thanks for the responces about my turn signal problem problem. It appears it won't be as simple as changing the relay. Maybe it's as simple as a loose wire connection somewhere in the convoluted route you describe. I hope it's not a broken wire/solder connection somewhere. I guess my next step is to go poke some wires. If nothing turns up, I will replace the handle assembly( PITA ). Any helpful hints from all you folks will be gratefully considered.
