    OK I have been troubleshooting no flash and found that both front sockets have rust/corrosion on them. SO i took one apart and found the spring had come out from the ground plate. I go the spring back in place but now the wire for the positive keeps coming out. How can i rewire this. Anyone have a pic or diagram of how this is suppose to be? Or know how i can wire it up to work?

    Should i just replace the factory signals?

    Thank you

    The center contact on the turn signal is crimped to a button. If the wire has been pulled out of the button, you might look into buying a socket replacement kit and replace the innards.

    Another thought is if they are too far gone is to replace the turn signals. If the sockets are that bad off, how are they otherwise? Lately I have actually been seeing quite a few decent used (and even some NOS) factory turn signals. I believe Chacal also has some factory replacements (he's right at the top in the parts for sale forum and has EVERYTHING if you haven't seen yet!) Good luck!
