This happened to me before. I wish I could remember what I (or we) did to fix it. I did a search for my posts and it did not jump out at me. So if anyone remembers, or has recently repaired this, speak up....
OK here is the deal. I activate the turn signal lever and sometimes the dash indicator will blink twice. Most times not. I don't hear a CLICK when they do work. The Hazards do the same thing. The fuse is fine. The parking feature works fine on either side. Does everyone know that when the key is off and out, if you activate the signal lever, the lights come on on that side? Let know... |

The 4th terminal of the flasher relay drives the tachometer turnsignal indicator. See the diagram below. The terminal marked C is driven to 12V through a secondary relay in the flasher. The exterior bulb current flows through the secondary coil and turns on the tach indicator. This secondary coil loses efficiency over time and doesn't pull in with the turnsignals. There's a common flasher available EP26 which is pin compatible with the OEM flasher. The only issue with EP26 is the C or C2 pin is not driven. I detail on my website (link below) how to make this mod. It is very easy to do. Or you can buy the EP26 from me already modified. |
