1971 914-4
New to me Starting to sort out some things. First up- turn signals. The fuse box is missing it's cover, but the second fuse from the far right is missing...and adding one in immediately shorts. So I pulled the flasher (as recommended on Rennlist before I found you guys!) And tested continutiy between #49 and left and right...nothing. The flasher isnte working. Then I noticed a newer/modern looking relay hanging out behind the fuse panel...it's operating the turn signals. My suppostionn is that they have bypassed emergency flasher? I got the turn signals working with cleaning the bulb sockets and using a little dilectic grease. Id love to get the emergency flashers operating...has anyone else elese had anything like this? Thanks in advance.  |

After these early posts, my turn signals were working...and now they have stopped. I'll start by checking the relay--any tips on how to test it?
I'm planning on upgrading to LEDs bulbs all around, so I know there is a different relay recommended--is there a way to wire things up to keep the original Emergency flasher working with the newer relays? This car would be best served to have emergency flashers in some way. |

This car would be best served to have emergency flashers in some way. It's difficult to test the flasher unit while it's in the car. There could be other wiring, fusing, connector and socket issues causing the flasher to not flash. The best way to test the flasher is to remove it and test it on the bench. Put 12V at greater than 2amp between pin 49 (Pos) and pin 31 (Neg). Connect a 1156 bulb between 49a and 31. The flasher should flash. In the 914 there is only one flasher relay. The 4-way emergency light use the same flasher relay as the turnsignals. The 4-ways are switch in with the flasher switch shown in the post above. The EP26 LED-compatible flasher is pin-compatible with the OEM 914 flasher. EP26 can drive incandescent bulbs too. |
