I recently changed out the steering box on my 65 Monza. Since assembling the steering column I don't have turn signals
(left or right); and no right rear brake light. Running lights work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Watching...I'm having a similar problem with my 65 Monza.

Enjoy the Corvair.

did you drop the steering column in the process?
If so, check for a pinched wire between the column mast jacket and the dash.

and also check to make sure the halfmoon-shaped connector is seated correctly.

My first thought was the connector. What all did you take apart?

I have a similar problem. My tail lights are ok, the turn signal lights (both) work but the left hand brake light is non op. I think the problem is in the turn switch.(in the column at the steering wheel area) Those little springy things get brittle over time & work themselves out of position or break. I'll be checking that in a few days. (letyaknow)

Questions. Is it....

No turn signals in front?

or

No turn signals in rear?

or

No turn signals front and rear?

It makes a difference in the troubleshooting advice to be provided.

Al,
No turn signals front, rear, and dash indicator. Only left brake light. Changed flasher also.

Sounds like the connector under the dash is partially disconnected or a cocked connection.

Will check connectors again.This issue is about to whoop me.
You coming to Springfest?

I will be there with my 66 More Door, if I get the front disc brake project completed in time. Donna and I will be trying to sell some parts at the outside vendor area both days.

We just completed updating our spreadsheet of parts of what we are bringing. Very few EM or FC Specific items remain on the list. Items will be add up to the week we leave. It is available for anyone who wants a copy. Just send me a PM with an email address.

Check for connector issues or pinched wires first but you may need this image as a lot of those circuits mentioned go through this fickle turn signal switch assembly that is the "logic center" for the turn signal and brake light interactions. These can get tweaked when all of those steering parts have been removed and re-installed.

Marker lights are controlled by the headlight switch so should not have been affected by your steering repair work.

Really?

Parking lights, running lights, marker lights, etc., no matter what people call them, they are all on the same lighting circuit through the headlight switch that has no relationship to the steering column plugs, wires or switches he would have had apart during his steering box repair.

Marker lights I always considered the side marker lights (68 - 69).

Parking lights in front with rear tail lights on all cars. Headlight position mis way is park lights both front & rear on.

Must be the way us notherners thought of the lights. Manual called the mid switch position park on head light switch. So front lights and tail lights were park lights until headlights come one then tail lights were running lights also but always tail lights (fuse legend- TAIL).

But Mark can always clarify this.

The place to check on the turn signals is at the turn signal switch connector. Everything is right there. If the power is coming from the flasher and not coming out of the switch then it is a switch problem. If no power from the flasher, then check the flasher for power. If the turn signal switch is sending out the needed signals then check for power at the sockets. If the sockets have power then check bulbs and grounds.

dave,
i inspected the turn signal module. all looks good there.

EURIKA!I HAVE GOOD TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS!
After metering all the Dark Green connetions from the steering harness to the Right tail assembly all is good.Pretty sure i pushed a pin ot two together in the process.
Thanks all for the tips!
