ok so. Since ive owned my 914 my turn signals haven't worked at night (running lights on), if i pull the hazards, the switch stays illuminated red no flashing. the minute i turn off the running lights it works perfect, turn signals included. two days ago my turn signal randomly stop workin (day and night), hazards included (the hazards light still stays illuminated when the lights are turned on though). Ive tried figuring it out prior but to no avail. Any ideas?

Probably a relay, or the wrong relay

Take the fuse panel down and check the relays and their connections would be my first guess.

The flasher relay is one of the ones on top of the fuse panel. It is usually a square, as opposed to the standard round relays. Double-check the wire colors running to it versus the wiring diagram to make sure you've got the right part.
The fact that the flashers work with the parking lights off but not with them on makes me think that the turn signal buckets (either front or rear or both) are wired incorrectly. If the parking light power were switched for the ground, for instance, you could get behavior like that. --DD |
