'78 Honda Civic -- direction signals
'78 Honda Civic -- temperamental direction signals
My '78 Honda Civic (1200) has developed temperamental direction signals, and I am at a loss how to cure it. Sometimes they work normally, but then stop. Then resume. Then stop again. Completely unpredictably. It seems that sometimes quickly flicking the signal lever back and forth would restore the operation, but this may be an illusion. I think I've located the switching mechanism in the console a bit to the left of the manual choke knob. (This car has a manual choke!) With two fingers from below, I can feel it vibrating when it works. Do I have to remove the console to access the unit or can the repair be done from below? The Honda repair manual has no suggestions. Sometimes I have to open the window (at 20 degrees F) to give a manual direction signal. Thanks for any help with hints and/or referrals. I remember changing the direction signal switch in a Pinto by unplugging the old clicker and replacing it with a new one. It was easily accessible. Alex |
