reverse lights most likely the switch on the transmission. turn signals most likely the multifunction switch. either drop some cash or break out the multimeter.

I switched out the multiswitch after I posted still nothing. I broke out the manuel and it says that the turn signal cannister is on the fuse support frame but I have had no luck in finding this. Thanks for your help will have to crawl under the car for the reverse light switch.

There's 2 flashers, one for the hazards and one for the turn signals. The one for the hazards is near the fuse box and the one for the turn signals is behind the glove box, which one did you change out?

I changed out the hazzards the one in the fuse box. The chiltons manuel is way off it was telling me it was on a fuse support post. Thanks for the heads up I will look behind the glove box.

Thanks SonicBlue for the good advice. I went to the Junk Yard today to get a new wiring harness because the guy who had the car before me butchered the thing trying to put in a homemade start button. The very first thing I did was to remove the glove box and there it was. So thanks again for the heads up.

P.S It took me 3hrs to remove the harness in 110 degree heat....
