I revisited my ongoing issue of the light on the switch not working and have come to the conclusion that the problem is within the switch itself. The wiring in the harness does contain a pulsing signal but it does not present at the bulb. Not wanting to disassemble the,switch itself i am going...

I replaced the flasher and the light on the column is still not flashing . I removed the switching unit and reinstalled it making sure it is grounded and it is. Tomorrow I will open the switch up and check for evidence of corrosion in the bulb socket. This has got me baffled for what I thought...
