Default 79 flh-80 signal light issue

my signal lights are not working. neither front or back not right not left. I have taken front light out a couple of times and have had them working but when put all back together they stopped. What in the world can be going on here????

if you turn the signal on do they come on and stay on (not blink) or do they just not come on at all? What about the running lights, do they work at all?
you say you've had them working by fooling with the front lightsl; am I understanding that correctly?

either way I would be looking for a shorted wire (ground more than likely) either in the housing of the front signal lights where the wires are fed through, or the connector that plugs into the bulb. If it were a short on the +12v side you would be popping fuses.

when they are not working such as now the things that seem to not work are the flashers, both sides signals, and the brake lights, when I monkeyed around not sure what I did everything worked and now nothing again. I wish I new more about it, is theere a breaker or something else that may be resetting from time to time? Thanks for replying!
