I have never owned a Standard 10, but have had quite a few vehicles and worked on many more, so question.
Where in the scheme of things is the location where you have 4 wires ? |

If the turn signal warning light is on the end of the indicator switch the 4 wires may be as per drawing. A simple multimeter will prove what bits of the circuit are working at the switch.

Do you have a multimeter ? Also find a small wattage 12v bulb and attach two fairly long electrical wires. If at all possible attach a crocodile clip to the end of them.
With these two items, electrical problems can go from guessing to logic.
I have known those who waste a lot of time and get really frustrated. by swapping bulbs, switches, and other bits in a haphazard attempt to find the fault. Logic and a notebook makes the task easier. |

I assume all the connections have been checked and cleaned up as necessary?

Hi Rick and Robo. Not wishing to be a "yawn" about this. But I would begin the troubleshooting at the known source of the circuitry, which on many such circuits may be an ignition switch fed fuse. From there it would go to the flasher unit. Bridge the flasher unit an operate the switch. If the left and right lights come on, then the flasher is suspect. If not, test circuit at switch common and then on each output. |
