Hello Everyone.
Finally getting back to working on my 1971 914. When I bought it the turn signals did not work. The headlights and taillights work. (When key is in ignition and in on position) I took it out for a ride, and parked it in my garage. The turn signal stalk was left in the right turn position. Later that night I checked on the car, and found the right turn signal was on steady. (Only when key is off car not running) So, both left and right turn signal light steady when key is off but not when key is on or car running. Apparently the wiring is not broken. Can someone help ID the relay for the turn signal flasher on this board its a 1971 If so, does anyone know where I could source one? Thanks everyone... Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

what do you mean by the 'right turn signal was on steady'?
both front and back exterior turn signal bulbs? |

leaving the turn signal arm to a right or left position and lighting the respective bulbs, is a feature.
does this behavior happen on the other side? have you checked all the bulbs? |

OK it is dark out and I took another look. The front and rear turn signals will turn on steady no blinking if the stalk is in the right or left turn position. Now I just discovered I have no brake lights. I'll start checking fuses for the taillights. Does anyone know what relay controls the turn signal blinkers? |

I think you have some custom wiring going on with the turnsignals. There should be a flasher relay where the leftmost circle is and the floating can in the rightmost circle is a custom solution.
Looks like somebody did an end run by wiring in a different flasher relay instead of getting an OEM type. Pull that assembly out and install an EP26 LED-compatible flasher relay with C2 grounded. ![]() |

Get that VIN ? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 9,858 Joined: 1-May 03 From: Sunset Beach, CA Member No.: 643 Region Association: Southern California ![]() ![]() |
When key is in the off position and either left or right turn signal is activated the Euro-parking light is activated. That’s normal.
My question is whether turn signals work when key on ??? |
