radio quit, blinker works as hazards

ok, today my radio quit working

the blinkers act as hazards, right left whatever flashes everything

the radio does have sound on while the lights flash, radio is on you can turn the station and turn up the volume but sound comes from speakers during the signal flash only

WTF??

Could be bad ground.
Is 4 way buttonn on or off?
Try switching 4W button.

would be wierd to all of a sudden have a bad ground.....

hazard switch works fine, on , off, radio has sound during hazards as well

Dash stuff flashing is wierd to.
But a lot of wierd dash stuff goes back to bad ground.
I learned that the hard way years ago.
Check them grounds all 4 corners and under dash to.

And always look for weak turn signal light or one not working.
Caused by bad ground.

k all wires look good, all bulbs work

i took out the flasher module, actually replaced it first but no luck, then jumpered the terminals, one is for blinker hot, one is hot for hazard, one receives the hot, one is ground.

I tried a ground hooked to the ground, no luck. What i cant figure out is what seperates the left and right signal? the flasher only makes it flash, where is the left and right seperated at?

No one thinks the radio sound during a flash is weird?????? gotta be something there....

i found both dome lights burned out, were working the day before, both front side markers were burned out as well. replaced all of those.

This did all happen after shorting the starter cable to the starter, then the frame, then back to the starter during when the solonoid positive broke off and then the pos cable started to weld while i was trying to figure out what the hell just happened.....

but anyhow why would the radio have anything to do with the blinkers??

Are you still getting feedback on dash or dash lights?
The left and right turn signals and left and right brake lights seperate in turn signal switch.
On 4 way position both side should blink/flash.
Left or right turn the turn signal switches flasher to left or right side.
And when flashing on one side the brake light hould be on on other side.
The radio and dash lights may feed on same ground.
Any strange feed back on dash/dash light or raido is usually a bad ground.

nothing wrong with dash lights, they work fine. Its just the blinkers, wont seperate left and right, all 4 come on with right or left, and no i dont get a brake light with the blinker running cause its acting like its on hazard, if i press brake i get solid brake lights like you woudl with the hazard engaged.

i already added a 2nd ground to the flasher unit and at the radio........

That sounds like a bad turn signal switch.

Good Luck.

ordered a tilt wheel column, so will see what happens when i swap that in.....

Let us know how it goes.
Good Luck

whole different column, blinkers still dont work......

what can cause this, is it a bulb? they all work but that doesnt mean it still cant be a bulb i guess.....

still nothing with the wiring for speakers wires doing something with the blinkers??

Could be bad turn signal switch in new column or still bad ground or wiring or bulb and bulb socket.
Also check that radio and speaker wiring.

Time to get out the old test light/volt-ohm meter.
Also get a wiring diagram for turn signals.
Check proper power in and out of turn signal switch and turn signal switch switching.
With switch unplugged with a fused 12 volt jumper apply power to each turn signal separately and see if it feeds over to any others.

Let us know how that goes.
Also unplug radio and see if any difference.
And when testing

One other thing to check.
On the rear has anyone wired in a trailer plug in.
I have saw many problem with the wired in wiring and even shorted traile plugs.

it was a damn screw in the cargo area, it got melted into the harness during the starter wire short......doh....

oh, ya i did get it fixed back in oct, just came accross my thread today

Well better late than never.:rofl:

Thanks for posting back how it went and what you found.
Good Luck
