Thanks! I've got the wiring all with continuity now, but I still don't have the flasher+indicator working correctly like it did before I pulled the dash.

I just don't understand the "ground" that is provided to the dash indicator bulb, and where it comes from to be coming through the dark blue or light blue wiring.

It seems that for right turn now everything works fine except (I guess) the "ground" to the indicator lamp; signals flash fine front and rear and flasher is clicking, but no indicator.

For left turn, my left rear light comes on, the dash indicator comes on, but the flasher doesn't flash. So maybe it is so weak of a ground coming through the dash indicator that it doesn't pull enough current through the flasher to get it going? So for both of these, it seems like I'm not seeing the "ground" that I was seeing before.

Does the steering wheel have to be fully re-assembled so the turn signal switch is grounded to the steering column/etc to work correctly, or can it operate correctly just dangling in the air?

Thanks anyone!
