[T3] Help me troubleshoot turnsignals - 70 Variant

[Per Lindgren <lindgre@online.no>]

<x-flowed>Good volks,

The turnsignals in my 70 Variant are a bit screwed up, it seems. When I 
bought it, nothing worked and the hazard light switch was broken. I 
replaced the hazard switch and relay today, and I also checked the turn 
signal switch assembly for continuity. So, now the hazard lights work 
like they're supposed to, almost.

When I pull out the hazard light switch, the warning lights in the gauge 
will only light up when the ignition is on. It may be the way the 70 is 
wired up, but I was under the understanding that these lights were to 
blink in sync with the indicator light in the hazard switch. Also the 
regular turn signals doesnt work with the ignition on, or engine 
running, for that matter.

The wiring in this car seems pretty much untouched, in that I mean that 
it doesnt look like some idiot has made a spaghetti of it all. The only 
problem I know of right now is that a yellow wire from the light switch 
to the high/low relay is broken off, but that shouldnt have anything to 
do with the turn signals or the dash indicator lights, should it?

All the fuses are ok, and the 4 turn signal bulbs all light up with the 
hazards on, so the problem isnt there at least. Has anyone run by this 
problem, or similar problem earlier? This really puzzles me.
