Re: [T3] Turn Signal Blues

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

When my flashers didn't work on getting the Squareback, it turned out the
body-shop used by the seller had reconnected the wires wrongly, and messed
up the hazard switch and the fuse.  Fault could be in the hazard switch.
Brown goes to the body and black is hot.
