When mine is engaged it flashes. I’m wondering because when I’m using my turn signals ( they work as they should), only the left arrow on the dash flashes. It does that whether I’m using the left or right turn signal. Again, the turn signals work as they should on the exterior.

QUOTE(kenshapiro2002 @ Dec 12 2025, 12:59 PM)  only the left arrow on the dash flashes. It does that whether I’m using the left or right turn signal. So only the left indicator flashes when selecting the left AND right turnsignals. You mention that the 914 is a '74 model but has a '70-'73 tachometer with separate L and R indicators. I thought I read that early '74 models used up stock of the '70-'73 tachs but the '74 model was configured for the single L/R indicator thus Porsche made it such that both L and R indicators would flash together regardless of L or R turnsignal active. If this is the case with your car, it sounds like the R indicator is burned out. It might be time to pop out the tach and inspect the wires and bulbs going to the tach indicators. |
