On my seventy three barracuda , with a rally dash.. Passenger side turn signal and hazard works.Driver side does not... I have no power coming from the turn signal harness from the - on the white wire that I believe feeds the left turn signal. It turns into a light green wire, and the turn signal switch\n Any help would be appreciated. I read something about it ties in with the brake light switch.Somehow , I think
 
I think we were here before. Same problem but different? Did you replace the switch?

AAW wiring. So you needed to cut the plug from the switch? This is what the colors would be on a new turn signal switch. The AAW wiring colors. Figure F. The Mopar wiring colors. My opinion: If you have the the car side of the turn signal sw plug. I would cut it with enough wire to remove the insulation. Then soldier the AAW wires to the plug wires and have shrink tube on before soldiering. Or get one. That way you retain ease of replacement and or trouble shooting. They are low current.

BEAWARE After market switch colors may vary. Pay no attention to the color chart in the picture. I have no idea what it is referring to.

The picture below shows the bullet connector. To remove there are 2 stabs on the side that stick out. I use a very small screw driver to push the tabs down. Then carefully move them back in place before installing if need be. Same for the other connector. There is a tool for that. I don't have one I just didn't know better way back when. I stuck myself a few time. I still don't hare the tool.

I do not have the original plug.This was in the column when I got it.. If I take and get those plns out and put them into the plug according to the mopar, turn signal wiring diagram.You have above.isthat at all I need to do... Make sure the new wires match the mopar wiring color.... I guess the big question is knowing what the colors are on the existing switch and where they go. The switch that I have does not match the aftermarket. Switch colors in the list.

From what it looks like. Pay no attention of the color of the wires. Just go and match the wire location. It looks like the white and red are the only ones that match the original color.

If you want to check it. Take a jumper wire from the white brake wire to white that will give power to the switch. Use a test light to ground to each signal switch wire when engaged.

Everything goes through the turn signal switch , pink to the brake switch , white up the column to the switch , then 4 wires out to the 4 signal lights the brake lights should activate the 2 wires at the rear & interrupt with signals , , 2 wires for each turn signal L&R , and all 4 wires with hazard lights.
Keep in mind that each light has a ground.
