Only one wire going to each of the turn signals. I was told this was a 1971, but when i check, the wiring diagram looks more like a 1970, does that sound right? (also only one fuse that I can find)

Ground connections at turn signal bulb/housing is good. The other thing I tried doesn't make sense to me either. I assumed that if I jumpered the two contacts for left turn in the switch, and ran a jumper directly from what i think is the ground contact in the switch to frame ground, then if the problem was a bad ground this should bypass that and cause the turn signal to work ( I hope that made some sense). What I got instead was the flasher relay started clicking, but still no lights. I'm still scratching my head about what could be going on. I'm hoping I'm right about the circuit diagram though, the older one has fewer lines and is easier for me to understand.
