So yesterday I starteed up the 67 and pulled out of my parking spot while doing so my radio just went off no power there at all.  When i tried my turn signals those dont work either nor do the emergency flashers.  all other electronics are working fine also the flasher indicators dont light up on the dash.  any suggestions?  I think it may be a fuse but not too sure

[dlrs14]

they shouldnt share the same fuse, unless there is an aftermarket deck and whoever wired it in piggy backed off the turn signals

[sixerfornow]

any ideas on any other causes that would force both of em to go out at the same time? i looked and the stock fuses the little glass ones and it looks like one may be burned i dont have any spares right now either and of course its a little late to try and get any fuses right now lol

[dlrs14]

short or for some reason a larger current draw than normal. but i cant think of a reason that it would all of a sudden draw more current than normal. my money would be on a short somewhere

[sixerfornow]

damn i really dont wanna have to go through all them wires just to find one short.  Arghhhh. anyone know where i can take it to just have em fix it for say cheap? lol im talkin like 50 bucks cheap else ill be driven around with no blinkers and radio for a while

electronics are never cheap to troubleshoot since most places are 100 bucks an hour....I would venture to guess those wires are next or by each-other and they got rubbed through or are touching each-other and shorting out.

damn i hate screwing with electronics its such a pain well guess i know what ill be doing on my day off

hey sixerfornow, could be a bunch of things one thats common on those models it the turn switch the one thats attached to the steering column...it could of been its time to go...
i know the older models for some reason the brakes and all the turn signals like that run through the hazard switch...
and it could be jus a simple thing like a relay...
those were jus some probs we had with my pops 65 those fixed it for us....
hope that narrows things down...

[sixerfornow]

Well i just put in a new emergency flasher relay

[sixerfornow]

but ill look at it one day this week and well see what we see

Hope u get it fixed bro.

Untill then bust out the old school hand signals lol

check chassis ground as well as wires to relay by battery and to ignition switch.  Also, possible ignition switch failure (see if any power to dash lights and to radio in acc possition but car ignition start okay).  Ignition switch not too hard to replace, available only by Mustang parts catalog.

its a wierd kind of short.  When i replaced the fuse that blew (radio fuse) blinkers worked and radio worked in the ON and ACC position.  The still worked when the car was started as well but as soon as the car begins moving the fuse blows again.

[dlrs14]

Wha? Wow that is wierd

[sixerfornow]

Ya I know thinking it may be a bad ground not sure might just have to take it to a stereo guy and have em look at it hopefully not though it seems that the fuse that manages power to the radio also manages the actual switch for the turn signals so thats why its goin out theres now problem with the flashers or relays just no power to the switch for em
