Turn sgnal mystery
My turn signals are intermittent along with the hazards. I’ve checked the relays, they each click respectivly when I move the lever and the hazard relay clicks with the push of the hazard light button. Next to the relays is an electronic flasher control, I believe this may be my problem, if I read it correctly it’s a DAP #52-120.
I’d sure like to get them to work all the time, Judy’s getting tired of running from one side of the bus to the other hanging her arm out the window as I’m weaving through traffic.

I have experienced the same issue and a new relay did n’t solve it. I found that the collar that my my turn-signal arm mounts to was rotating around the steering column a bit – and that there is a definate spot it hits which kills the turn signals and flashers. Just never had the time yet to investigate.

Liam, I thought that might be the case with mine, but I took it all apart and counldn’t find any shorts.
Bob, it sure acts like a bad ground, so far I haven’t found anything loose. Points me in the direction of the electronic flasher unit, I can make it squeal (best word I can come up with), but not flash.
Google didn’t show a flasher unit, I’ll check with a Prevost parts center and give that a try.

Behind dash right of steering wheel. Not gauge area but next pannel over. attached to a alum plate(must be grounded) I think you can get to from bottom. Another place to look is front steering compartment behind headlights. Like I said from memory any not sure which place. I do remember loosing ground to base plate causing low voltage to turn signals. A alligator clips and a piece of wire can make a good diagonistic test to ck grounds.
