Hey everyone,
On my 81 eagle model 10 I go to use the blinkers and the both lights come on like the hazards are on. All lights work, IE running, headlights and tail lights. Any Ideas would be great.

Possibly a bad flasher unit. IIRC, your Eagle is a 12v coach. Try a Wagner HD Flasher, #852/5x, and see if that cures the problem. If not, time to get out the tools and start chasing electrical circuits.
FWIW & HTH. . .
;)
first question would be is this a new problem or has it been there since you got the coach. second, do you have a schematic of the electric system? if not I may be able to scan mine and email it to you. I have an 81 model 10 Eagle also but the PO did it no favor in the electric dept. lots of corroded wire ends and cut and spliced stuff. I finally got annoyed enough to rip it all out and build a new harness. if you need help I will be at the shop sunday working on mine and have the books there so you can call me on my cell in the afternoon. 954-270-2628

Steve, looks like you are in S. Florida. Do you Ward at Ward Marine or Mike at Atlas Energy or Greg Bishop?

I used to be in S. Fla but I have been in north east Georgia for two years now. everyone in the world knows my cell number so I just keep it rather than deal with letting everyone learn a new one. I know the name Ward marine but I dont know any of them, sorry.

Sounds like a ground problem to me.
2 relays in front electrical box - 1 for left turn, 1 for right turn.There was a relay for "manual blink" too.
Definitely check all the grounds - especially for dash, and in operator's compartment.
I have diagrams, just gotta find 'em.
Good luck. Sammy 8)
Lots of good suggestions.
Do your self a favor and make about a 10' piece of wire with alligator clips on both ends.
Anytime your troubleshooting a DC problem, hook up to your panel ground and to the ground of what ails you.
The vast majority of DC problems are ground related.
This will really shorten your T/S ing time and good to have in a pinch at O:dark thirty when you need to get somewhere.
