If it were me, I'd approach this like an "unkown" tail light.  Using jumper cables (with either contact tips or alligator clips on the ends), I'd test the bulb - straight off the battery.  Then I'd insert the bulb and using a known ground connected directly to the socket and to a bolt or screw, test the light when the switch is on.

Keep moving down-stream on the ground until it stops working and you should find the bad ground. This can also be done with a multi-meter.


I'd done all this on my turn signals and found it to be a bad ground.  On my turn signal, I ended up running another wire (for ground) from inside the case all the way down the wiring harness to a good connection under the dash.

 thanks :)

my indicator  bulb isn't working on the turn signal unit, it says that it grounds thought the housing.... but were ?

 i've removed paint on the column and the column clamp, no luck. i cleaned up ( aka sanded ) the metal the the bulb holders goes to. and sanded the arm below it. the jeep has a new walcks harness, and the spartan unit came from mid west willys any help would be great. thx

p.s. i'm not a wiring kinda guy
