Need some help.. I just bought a 1971 Standard Beetle and the turn signal switch and hazard switch needed replaced. I have installed both the new hazard switch and turn signal switch. Hazard lights work fine when pulling the switch. When I switch the turn signals left or right the green light in the dash comes on but none of the lights blink. So far I have double checked the wiring and tried a new relay. With no change. Horn and dimmer switch work fine. I really could use some suggestions what to check next.... Thanks - James

I think you have no power to the turn switch, behind the dashboard there is connection leading to the turn switch, check it out. Regards Ivan
