<VV> '69 directional flasher question

[tim mahler]

My 68 has a flasher unit under the dash by the column.  And another on the 
fuse box that doesn't seem to do a bloody thing.
the under dash unit clicks with both the directional signals and the 4-way 
flasher.  the 67-69 4-way flasher was stock and an integral part of the turn 
indicator switch.   The famed Boyne switches that Kent just wrote about.  I 
now have two broken ones,  but the little plastic ears are AOK (the part 
that typically breaks).   The 4-way flasher circuit seems to develop a short 
that limits/prevents the purple wire (power from the flasher) to make it to 
the directional signal.  Mine latest went out coming home from a show --  
similar traits before it stopped.     I suspect I may have another gremlin 
in the electrical circuitry,  but need a better wiring diagram -- hint hint 
Ned <grin>     I got everything to work -- to get me to Detroit, the track 
event, Concours and Autocross, and home again.  But I will continue to look 
to see if I am able to spot the original gremlin.  May never find it.
