Victory is in sight! I tried all of the suggestions about verifying the grounds, and everything checked out. So I started with the other wire going to the front turn signal lamp and started working backward looking for voltage. The first connector I came to, the wire practically fell out by itself, almost no friction. I held that connector in a way I thought would make the connection stronger and then the turn signal started working (yea!). I still have to reassemble everything, but I'm wondering what I should do to improve that connector? I considered crimping either the female side to make the I.D. smaller, or deforming the male side so part of it is larger, but am nervous about causing damage that could make it worse, so I'm looking for suggestions. I hope I don't have to replace those connectors, I'm not sure where I could find those parts.

Thanks again for all the coaching to help me diagnose this problem.
