help electrical problem!

wrong. The second you turn on a flasher on a 69', there is power to the turn signal switch. I've wired a bunch of them, and they are all the same. The fact that the switch is on the dash means nothing. That is why if you turn on the flasher, then the turn signal handle, things change. My 70' duster and my 69' dart are a copy of each other, the switches are just in a different place. Buy the way, GUY, if you had any real experience obviously, you would know in 1970 a flasher and a hazard is the same thing. Also, an experienced electrician knows that a switch can have a grounding issue, but only show up when you actually actuate the switch, without blowing a fuse or melting anything at all.

What the hell are you talking about?

"Flasher" is a word you made up. You will not find that term anywhere in a Mopar publication referring to the HAZARD or WARNING flashers. Using the word 'flasher' can mean any damn thing. Are you talking about signal "flashers" or hazard "flashers" or the ho's along the sidewalk?

I'm well aware of the "trick" where you turn on the HAZARD switch and this feeds into the turn signals when either left or right is selected YOU CAN NOT DO THAT on a properly working '70 or later because there is a MECHANICAL INTERLOCK in the switch, IE the HAZARD switch is part of the turn signal switch.

Short to ground.??? What the hell are you talking about?

There is only TWO results of shorting power to ground. ONLY two

1....blown fuses

2...burned up wiring.

"any real experience?"

Please do not make assumptions about which you do not know squat
