Hi guys,
Have some weird issues with my turnsignal lights on the dash. Car is a 74 2.0 with the two arrows flashing at the same time. A while ago all of a sudden the brakelight warning light and turnsignal lights on the dash started flashing. Assumed the turnsignal relay failed so replaced with a uro one I had laying around. No change, I even had got a buzzing sound. Disconnected the single wire on the brakeswitch (at the MC) and the brake warning light went out but also I no longer had turnsignal lights on the dash. Everything outside works fine (left/right turnsignals, 4 way turnsignals, lights etc). I installed a new brakeswitch, reconnected the single wire and once again installed a new turnsignal relay. Same issue, brakewarning light + L/R flashing. Disconnected the single wire to stop the brake warning light. Now the flashing of the L/R light on the dash is intermittent. It looks like everytime I use the brakepedal the flashing stops.... Not only when braking, building up pressure, but realy as from the moment I touch the pedal .... Thought that perhaps I need to bleed the brakes (MC, no leaks) but it is kinda strange that the flashing stops even with a light touch on the pedal. I fried my brakeswitch on the pedal a couple of months ago and a new one is in. Any thoughts ? krgds Dax |

My '73 1.7 had the exact symptoms last month after a tail light bulb went out. Are all of your bulbs in good shape?
Turn signal flasher did not help, actually made the flashing dash indicators flash more dimmly. I replaced the two spade MC switch with a reset-able single spade switch (914rubber IIRC) and this eliminated almost everything. The female spade connecting to my e-brake had "broken" and was having intermittent contact creating intermittent results. @spoke was an incredible resource! Thanks, again @spoke ! Maybe this will help you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

At 914 rubber the switch is 27.95 usd and shipping is 36 usd (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Have a new swith on the ebrake as well (new, a year old or so)... will check that to. could it explain that whenever I touch the brake pedal the blinking stops ?
