Ben, It has been so long ago that I am sorry but I don't remember exactly. I do remember that NAPA sold me an adapter fitting to go into the splitter that they said would work but I didn't ; it was the wrong thread. I believe I took the old original hose to O'Reilly's and they were able to get...

The weatherstrip piece that fits in the front vent window frame is shot and the two little guide pieces on top that go through the window glass have apparently come out and are most likely at the bottom of the door. I was able to purchase a new set of strips with guide pieces but the old strip...

I know that I posted this thread late last year but I wanted to update what worked to get the flashers working again. With back issues and cold days, I haven't been able to do a lot of car work until now. The problem appears to be the switch. As was mentioned here, sometimes turning the switch...

I saw in your post that part of the MASS requirements for the 1967 model cars and the hazard lights are one of them. Thanks Big_John for that. The inspection guy did indeed do me a favor and I am sure that he is counting on me to correct this. I have been getting inspections there since 1958 and...

I'm not completely sure of this but I always thought that if the car was originally equipped from the factory with things like hazard lights, seat belts etc, then the state inspection would require said items to be present and functional to pass. I know that in 1968, the Plymouth Fury's and I...

I was able to locate my flasher connector but there was no flasher in it. As I said earlier it has been ages since I used them and I now think I may have robbed that flasher for the signal lights- a little brain freeze going here I guess. I tested the connector and I have battery voltage there...

Agility challenged, I am afraid I fall into that category but I can get under the dashboard; it just takes a bit longer. Your diagram illustrates a good starting point in identifying the hot wire feeding the flasher. Power there will prove that the system is okay to that point. Thank you. John

Thank you SportFury70 for your input here and offer. I actually found another switch buried in my stash and hopefully I can get at least this one or the original switch in the car to work. These switches don't get used that often and due to their age, they are probably in need of cleaning. My...

Thank you all for the helpful tips. I will be picking up a new flasher very soon. I remember for my turn signal flasher, I bought one that didn't last very long so I found another type that was clear rather the metal one I had before. The clear flasher has held up well and I believe I got it...

Thanks mrfury68. I'll get under the dash (not as easy for me as it once was) and add or replace the other flasher. If need be I'll pull out the ashtray for easier access John Good point. I'll try that. The switch does seem a little tight.

I took my Fury for its annual safety inspection today and the inspector passed it but mentioned that my hazard flasher lights were not working. He was cool and told me to get them working but didn't reject me. The lights haven't worked in a long time but I want to find the problem and fix them...

Great help here. Thanks

I forget to ask if anyone has treated their windshield with Rain X and if the wiper action is smoother afterwards?

I trimmed the new Anco blades to fit my Plymouth and they seem to be fine. I wet the windshield down with my hose and the wipers worked very nicely. I wanted to retain my original wiper arms and I was able to do so :thumbsup: Thank you guys again for your help and tips. John

Thanks to all for your help. I ordered the Anco blades from Rock Auto that bnz 84 posted and they came this morning. I paired them with the ones on the car and they can be trimmed to match and I'm sure it will be fine. Cheers. John
