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.
