Lightning struck very close to my vehicle during a heavy rain storm. Now the turn signals, washer control, headlamp dimmer switch, and Emergency flasher are all inoperable. The windshield wipers work, however. Mechanic can’t locate any problem with power going to the switch assembly but nothing mentioned above works. Any suggestions?
 
He may find power if he is checking power direct to ground but may not if the the ground to the component is missing, the way the power works in the cars today is that the ground side is interrupted and not the power side, Check for ground continuity at the component.
 
Good luck. I had a near lightning strike to my 72 Plymouth that fixed the electrical issues it had…

Makes one wonder what would be the odds of that ever happening again.
