This happened to me before. I wish I could remember what I (or we) did to fix it. I did a search for my posts and it did not jump out at me. So if anyone remembers, or has recently repaired this, speak up....

OK here is the deal. I activate the turn signal lever and sometimes the dash indicator will blink twice. Most times not.

I don't hear a CLICK when they do work.

The Hazards do the same thing.

The fuse is fine.

The parking feature works fine on either side. Does everyone know that when the key is off and out, if you activate the signal lever, the lights come on on that side?

Let know...

One additional problem that I did not see yesterday, but once I noticed it this morning, the previous problem started to come back to mind.

the parking brake..... it is not blinking or lighting either.

You can see that it is in the circuit above too.

I believe I pulled the flasher relay last time and cleaned the spades. Once I re-installed it, everything worked. So it was a connection problem. Now I believe it is more. I will pull that relay today.

Thanks, more to come.

The 914 OEM flasher was designed to flash even with minuscule load current like the parking brake light. The Wehrle flasher may not flash with such a light load.

The EP26 flasher is LED-compatible and flashes at a very low current, like 4ma. Although the EP26 doesn't have the 2nd relay and if the ebrake is pulled, the tach turnsignal indicator will flash. This is true only for the later single turnsignal indicator configuration ('74-'76 cars).

OK, you are correct. The new relay is installed. Blinkers work fine. Hazards work fine. The hand brake light does not blink and the relay just buzzes. What do I need to do. Is the one you make what I need?

The EP26 is available all over the web for $12-$15 and most FLAPS. However, the C2 pin isn't connected to anything. This is the pin which will drive the common connection of the L and R indicators in the tach. The main reason I resell these is I modify the relay to tie the C2 pin to ground on the circuit board inside the flasher.

There are several ways to solve this puzzle.

1) Find an OEM 914 flasher.
2) Purchase an EP26, pop the top and add 1 wire like I do. I show the mod on my website if you want to do it yourself.
3) Purchase and install an unmodified EP26, and add a "Y" pigtail like below to the common connection of the L and R turnsignals.
4) Purchase a modified EP26 from me.

Spoke, I clicked thru to your website based on this thread and a problem I'm experiencing with my brake light flashing and weak right turn signal dash light (blinks normally on the dash for 2 blinks and then both right and left indicators flash very dimly, though the front and rear lights blink normally). I click thru to the 914 link and ordered a relay, sent payment info, etc. I haven't received the relay, nor heard anything about the order. I just went back to your website and now when I click on 914 the page is blank.

HELP
