Some time ago the "turn/gen" fuse (turn signals and voltage regulator) on my '73 FJ40 began blowing randomly. Since I hadn't replaced either the alternator or the voltage regulator in at least 20 years, I decided to do so as a precaution and to see if that fixed the issue. It didn't. The fuse kept blowing, cutting out both turn signals/emergency flashers and the alternator. Just a few days ago, the signals and flashers again stopped working . . . but this time the fuse hasn't blown; the voltage regulator is still getting power. I'm stumped. I took apart the turn signal assembly and all seems fine inside. I have a solid-state flasher, so I hooked up the factory unit again—still nothing. I don't know where to look to see where the power to the signals has been lost.
