Guess what folks ..None of the above ..After speedo replaced and the turn signal mod. replaced and all wires checked.We were in the shop with it on the lift.Took off the rear turn signal housings.I noticed that they were a one wire set up to each bulb...so that meant that the ground had to be either the housing it self or the bulb socket...It was loose and as the vibrations increased with speed etc... it jumped around the housing interrupting the ground ..We bent down the edges of the back of the socket which tightened it up and whoa...everything worked ..Never wouldve guessed if We hadnt taken the housing apart..Tha svc. manual indicated to replace the turn signal module ....ordered " new and improved " housings ..what an odessey and adventure yet so simple.....Onward through the fog !!
