Hello Everyone

I'm making a list of items that need attention on my 1971 914.

I have determined what I need for my shifter bushing project.

Now I'm onto my turn signal project.

I have an aftermarket steering wheel on this car and the turn signals do not work>

I'm hoping to check the relays first before tearing into the wiring.

Can anyone help me identify the relays under my dash please?

Looks like an old headlight relay with a circuit breaker

Since you mentioned you have an aftermarket steering wheel, have you taken it off yet? If not pull it off and check if the cancel ring was installed on your after market wheel. Also check that the wavy spring is mounted on the right hand side of the steering column.

Well, I was hoping to rule out the relay before cracking into the steering column.
