Hello Everyone,

Well, I'm finally retired and am able to work on my 914.

I started a post about my turn signals and have time to do it.

I currently have this board.

Symptoms:

Turn signals will turn on solid if the turn signal stalk is up or down on the column.

Also tested and have 12 DC at each corner front and rear turn signals....

Just noticed my Hazard lights do not work.

Do you feel the square/silver relay in this pic would control both turn and hazard lights?

If so, is there a replacement?

The silver square is the high beams, the turn signal relay is round and under the dash.
The turn signal will light up solid if the key is off, actually a german safety feature.

Here is the layout of the under dash fuse panel. The turn signal relay is the large rectangular relay #3. PN: 91461830311 Unless Porsche changed the layout after 71 which others may chime in on.

Doesn't look like your flasher relay is on your relay board. As mentioned the relay itself is usually a square black plastic bodied relay. Here's a couple of pictures of the relay and its connector. The connector has flat spades as the relays have round pins.
