    Quit laughing.I can hear you down hear.lol.Turn signal lever feels good and when you click it up or down the light indicator on the dash on the right lights up or turn down the lever and the indicator on the dash on the left lights up.Just doesn't blink.

    Ok. whats the difference between a AGC lets say 20 amp fuse and a SFE 20 amp fuse.(AGC looks thinner in side) ?
    Hope theres a difference.
    OK. In the AMC technical Manual it says use a
    Dome-Clock 9 ampere fuse
    Park Tail-9 ampere fuse
    Stop-14 ampere fuse
    Accesseries-14 ampere fuse
    Gauges-4 ampere fuse
    When I look at the wiring diagrams and whats printed on the fuse box it says:
    Dome-Clock 9A
    Park Tail 14A
    Stop-20A
    Accesseries-20A
    Gauges- 4A
    What amp do you use??? whats printed or stamped on the fuse box????
    I was thinking may be the fuses are wrong thats in it.
    What do you think ?
    Man I owe you'all big time.
    Just thinking.lol.lol

    blinkers WILL blink when rear bulbs get right(takes 2 bulbs lit for the flasher to work).remember thats how you knew a bulb was dead back then when the signal didn't blink.yes i'm still laughing at that starting issue,just remember to leave it in neutral when it is parked or you might find it in the dining room one day.as to fuses stay as close to what is in manual,if you can find the correct ones.just don't go putting 30 amp fuses on 10amp curcuits,but you will probably go through 6 cases of fuses before you find that lighting issue.i always went with what was on the fuse block as for maximum size

    Gotcha Jeff.Gonna give it another try today.
    Just wondering do you know where they run the back harness from the back of the car to the dash?
    I mean under the foot plate or through the above side headliner? just was trying to get all my ducks in a row.
    Thanks.

    runs along left edge of floorpan on driver's side under carpet,most likely problem is either before harness runs along floor or it could also be at the tailight sockets if those wires have been cut/spliced.the orange wire is power for the left turn and white is for the right turn, and you'll notice from the diagram they both go directly to turn signal switch connector.thats where they both get power from the brake light switch that runs through the signal switch.

    also check the wires that go into the tailight socket as they tend to get damaged by stuff being put in the trunk.every one i have ever owned had bare wires inside the socket from where the wire rubbed against the metal inside the socket.hate to be sending you on all these wild goose chases but i figure by the time i'm done with you,you will know what every wire in that car is for.thats why electrical troubleshooting is so expensive because you HAVE to start at point A and check everything untill you get to point Z.now that you know you have power going through the brake light switch,use a test light that has a point on it allowing you to poke into the wire without cutting it and start chasing the circuit.another question for you--when the lights are turned on,do the turn indicators on the dash light up dimly?

    OHHHHH I LOVE YOU MAN.lol.lol.lol.Well did like you said and followed your directions to a tee.GOT BRAKE LIGHTS NOW and running lights after 4.5 hours and going to 2 auto shops after blowing all the bulbs and changed all the fuses to what the technical book said not the max. and $40.00 later.lol.lol.
    When I turn the blinker on the left or right now the left or right will be bright.
    Sorta like doing it manual like the old days.lol.lol.And I have 4 way flashers all around but still no blinkers only when I do it manually.
    YOUR THE GREATEST. THE TRIP IS FREE. You think it's now the steering wheel cam??? lol.lol.

    ok now you are getting close,you should have 2 flashers under the dash,one is for the hazard lights and the other is for the turn signals.turn on the hazard lights and feel the flasher(no i'm not getting pornographic here) to find out which one it is(you will feel it clicking on and off).if my memory is correct one is just dangling down under the dash and one is way up behind the instrument cluster.for GP's replace them both.by the way--where was the problem--spliced wires or what????according to wiring diagram the turn signal flasher will have a solid blue wire and a solid brown wire to the plug.the hazard flasher will have red w/white stripe and blue w/white stripe to the plug.now another question--do the front turn signal lights come on with the turn signal switch on the BRIGHT filament like they should(as bright as the flashers).also the hazard lights should also be working at the rear--correct???

    Hey Jeff. I guess it was little of both.Mostly I think they had the maximum amps and not the correct fuses.So the power going to the back was lighting both filiments on the bulbs. The 4 ways are working Front and back.Brake lights are working great too. I just checked and the front light is bright when you turn the turn signal on Right or left on the front and back.It might click once than stops.I've already replaced the hazard flasher.T thought that was the turn signal flasher.lol.lol. So that works. Now you got me going. I didn't know there was another flasher. Going under(The dash that is) now.lol.lol.
    Geez ,with your knowledge and my stupidity you could probably talk some one to build a whole car over the internet.
    Going to look
    Thanks so much.gonna try and find that sucker before the parts store closes.

    just sounds like a little GREMLIN got into that JAVELIN at one point. take comfort in knowing that you didn't get a super NOVA (burning fireball) out of the deal!saw your latest post, it is behind the instrument cluster.
