Have had my ’74 1.8L since new and this problem just started – the single turn signal indicator light does a steady flash, once every 5-6 seconds, for no (?) apparent reason, all by itself. The relay clicks and sounds as expected, but the turn signals aren’t on (they all work just fine) and the parking brake switch seems OK. Changed out the relay (3 times – the URO replacement), cleared up all turn signal connectors and replaced all signal bulbs. All fuses look good. This had been an intermittent situation for a few weeks, but now it’s all the time. Went away for 20 minutes when replaced the relay the second time, but came back. Seems like a square wave signal is getting sent to the flasher relay? Any clues as to what’s going on?
Thanks! |

I think I have a spare original relay if you want to play with it. Might help narrow down problem.

Thanks, Mark. I've been able to get my hands on a "nicely" used original so will try that, along with checking out those two break switches. The red brake warning works just fine and goes on/off when I press the parking brake button manually. So, maybe (?) either something with the master brake cylinder switch or indeed errant relay design for '74+ models.
