    I finally got the dash re-installed, the electrical system repaired, the AC expansion valve replaced and all the leather replaced, rejuvinated or re-dyed. It looks perfect, but the turn signals don't work. The fuse is OK and the other components on that fuse (mirrors) work OK. The flasher is connected and undisturbed. The whole steering column was removed. Could one of the steering column connectors have come loose (please say no, I don't want to take the dash apart again)? If so, would it be the smallest of the 3 connectors? Where should I look first/next?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Man, I really wnated to drive her today.. :-(

    The vehicle is a 1994 512TR.
    I saw in a search that the turn signals route through the hazard switch. I did have the console completely apart. Hmmmmmm.
    And when I say dead turn signals, I mean no flasher, no nothing. I think I'll go play with the hazard switch first.

    Fixed!
    12 minutes to take apart the console, remove and reinstall (correctly) the circular electrical connection to the hazard signal, test the directional signals and hazard (A-OK) and put it all back together (OK, maybe I've had the console apart a few times today for other reasons).
    I just took her out for a 10 mile blast up the interstate - it's a rush every time. All systems functioning, all 12 cylinders singing. Thanks for being there. This forum is amazing.

    Glad you got it fixed :) BTW- Your glove box has a 512M script on it. That's a lot rarer than a 512TR if true! :D

    The car is a 512TR, but I changed the rear to a 512M set up with the 4 round tail lights. I bought a used dash 6 years ago to replace the original one that had warped from the Miami sun (the piece on the top of the radio). I honestly did not know the glovebox had the 512M script on it until I unwrapped it for the first time last month. I still have the original, which is nice, but since it is actually a "modified" 512TR, I thought I'd leave it on.
