1971 turn signal relay question, 1971 Turn signal relay Options

[Mike1981]

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...

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.
