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...

Great may I buy one from you please? Would I simply take a wire from C2 to Chassis ground?

You can buy a modified EP26 from me. The link to my page is below in my sig.
Or you can buy one yourself and modify. I show how to do it on my page.
Or you can short the wires to ground for the tach turnsignal indicators.

Do you feel the missing relay I have in the board is tied to the turn signals?

The missing relay is not the flasher relay. The flasher relay has flat spades to connect. Also the flasher relay has a square box so I don't think either of the relays on the panel are the flasher relay.

I'm a bit foggy on where the flasher relay socket is on your panel. Here's a diagram from Jeff Bowlsby's page showing the panel with 5 relays; the flasher is in the middle and is shown as a square box.

You may want to investigate in the wiring if you can find a floating socket and/or square box relay behind the fuse panel. In one of the pictures you can see a socket w/o a relay and see the flat spade sockets.



But yours does not have this relay arrangement. I did some searching and found several different layouts. Perhaps someone has the magic decoder ring to figure out each variation including yours.

Some of these pictures may be duplicates so there might not be 5 variations.

Thanks for these ideas.

Yes, there are a few different boards.

I was told my board does not have the turn signal relay/switch on it.

This is why I'm assuming the relay I pulled out is the one controlling the turn signals.

Not 100 percent on this open for advice....
