The turn signal indicator in the dash of my '85 started flickering
intermittently (signal switch not activated).  Eventually it got to
where it would come on solid when I would "Try" to signal for a turn but
would not flash (turn signals outside didn't come on at all).


Fuse was good and clean so I tried the emergency flasher.  It didn't
work either.


I reseated the female spade connectors on the back of the relay socket
and now all is back to normal.  A little corrosion goes a long way.  No
corrosion was visible.
