The 4-way flasher (hazard) switch flashes red and all four corners flash as they should. The question is should the green turn signal indicators in the tach illuminate with the 4-ways as well? Not sure why I think that they are supposed to, but they currently do not. Car is a late '73.
Back story is that I have been trouble shooting some electrical stuff recently including some funky 4-way flasher stuff. @chi town and @bdstone914 diagnosed that I had the black and gray wires in both turn signal buckets inverted. Everything is now operating as it should, but can't recall if those turn signal indicators should flash too? Multiple relays were checked and parking brake flashes as it should. Anybody know? |

So you've tried multiple flasher relays and they all behave the same? I believe the tach turnsignal indicators should light up with 4-ways on. I have tried two new Wehrle relays and they are both not working correctly. One keeps the E-brake light indicator solid and they other has it flashing very quickly.  The Hella TBB4 relay in the car is working correctly as evidenced in the E-brake, turn signal and Hazards flashing at the correct speed. This is a known problem with the Wehrles as they all come with the generic Porsche part number 914.618.303.11 , but there were diffferences in the older stock. I recall seeing previous threads on this. |
