1986 Spree restoration

(I have posted random junk around here the past few days, so I decided instead of spamming boards and reiterating myself in different topics, I will keep this and the Spree Chopper topics active. I'd delete the others if I knew how)
However, after messing with more wiring, and the multimeter I noticed there was no power going past my relay. It went to the relay, but no power to the switch
So, I am going to guess that is bad. I decided against getting another harness after realizing how stupid I was. Also, it helps I know an electrician that had absolutely no trouble finding the problem.
Also, I noticed I have a turn signal as a tail light, hence why it didn't change brightness.
I will hopefully have these problems sorted out tomorrow.
I am calling this 'restoration' because I am essentially properly redoing my poor little beaten and abused Spree.

Keep the faith fellow "Hoosier," last Nov. I knew nothing about these critters, i have since restored 5 Spree's, 1 Aero, and am finishing up a "92 Elite " with Taz bbk (free plug cuz he sells good stuff) Read and learn, there is a wealth of info here.

Turns out it wasn't a relay but a flasher? Um now really lost. Can't find any 3 pin flasher (or relay for that matter) on the wiring diagram

I'd estimate there is approximately 2lbs 2oz of them.

your electrician or your dad, should just see where the wire connect to.
