electrical and ignition What And Where Does This Relay Belong

[Koblenz]

While making my own underdash boards I discovered this barely hanging from a rusted screw.

it looks like an addon to me

My car has the same relay. Was wondering what it was today. Trying to track down why my turn signals aren't working.

My turns and flashers work but the blinker indicator is intermittent at best.

Thank you!

 

Aha! The seat belt.  Do I need to leave it connected?

a very easy and inexpensive fix to your blinker issue is use an off the rack electronic flasher...2 of my cars had the same problem, i read about the elect flasher when i was hooking up lights on the 69, bought 2 at autozone and no more blinkers with their own agenda...they blink when told now

Fantastic!  On the way.  I for one believe a indicator should speak when spoken to. 

 

Is this the beast?

that one may work but the one most commonly talked about at FAQ and the one i used is this one...i got them at autozone and iirc, they cost less than $10.00 ea

 

 

wired like this:

 

Black/White to the "X" terminal (12V power)
Green/Yellow to the "L" terminal (Load)
Green/Violet to the "P" (Instrumentation)

 

no ground wire is used or necessary

Ok.  Makes sense.  Thank you.  On the way to the zone.  Have you ever considered making under dash panels?

I like this thread.  It needs music.

 

Speaking of getting the time...
