The schematic I have doesn't have the wire colors exactly in that order, but basically any wire associated with the turn signal switch is part of the lighting system and that color on the schematic I have is a marker or turn light.

I moved this to the G3Tech - Electrical section. This has some good information in case someone else comes along later to find an answer. Very Happy

Also check the two little springs in the switch, if one is broken, it won't cancel...common problem, you can get springs at Napa.
