Hi, today I put on the turn signal and after taking it off the amber indicator was still on, what could be the problem?
BTW All the bulb lights are good.
Thanks

See schmatic of that area below. I'm assuming what you're saying is you used the turn signals, they worked normally, but when you turned the switch off the amber dash light stayed on.Hi, today I put on the turn signal and after taking it off the amber indicator was still on, what could be the problem?

I think your flasher unit has failed. I don't recall exactly where it is, somewhere behind the dash. Usually it's an aluminum or plastic box or cylinder about 1" on each side, and might look just like an automotive relay. If you can get it to make it's "tink-tink" noise, perhaps by manipulating the switch, you might find it that way. If you can't find it let me know and I'll figure out where it is. If you can, swap it for an equivalent from your local Pep Boys or whatever, and see if that fixes it. They're pretty generic and cheap.

This is a picture of the guilty party...
Now I just say a small prayer and add throttle......
So basically the obvious thing to do with a bad EL13 is replace it with another EL13 and hope for the best. I'm going to go one step further and replace mine with an EP26, a 4-terminal unit to which I will have to supply a ground lead (there's a power receptacle nearby in the small switch panel where I can grab a ground). The reason for the change is that I suspect the EP26 will be more reliable. It also has a rectangular case that is easier to fit behind the dash.
