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 |

Any thoughts ? krgds Dax @dax1969 The only place where the wires for the brake and turnsignals come together is in the rear light housing. Has any work been done to them? Sounds like wires were swapped. When the flashing stops do the turnsignal lights stay on or off? |

Sounds like wires were swapped. When the flashing stops do the turnsignal lights stay on or off? @spoke I disconnected the switch (replaced 2 times now) at the MC and the turnsignal lights are not really flashing anymore... The come on and once I push the brakepedal they turn off... a bit later they come on again (and I hear the turnsignal relay clicking realy fast). The relay has been changed to this one NEW RELAY (although I have no leds in the car anywhere) No work has been done to the rear lights but I will further investigate if there is no short or so... In the meantime I ordered a new master cylinder (easy install 19mm fm 914 rubber) which includes the resettable switch. Will see if that helps thks yr assistance krgds DAx |
