Suddenly lost my signal lights on my '75 Mark lll.

Question: can this happen if one bulb fails? Or, should I focus on the flasher relay?

Regarding relay, or flasher control, where the heck is it mounted? I could not see it in the bucket...
Thanks!

It's probably either a flasher or a disconnected lead to the flasher. On my 73 850 the flasher is on the left side under the seat and behind the oil tank, not sure where it is on the 75. The other issue that I have always run into on the Lucas turn signals is that the ground path is terrible. On my British bikes I always run a ground wire from socket to a grounding point. It really is better than grounding the sockets through the chrome plating on the housings.

It should be in there, attached by a clip?
