Title: Indicator relay
Post by: drewster71 on August 09, 2013, 07:22:09 PM
Evening all,
I recently installed a good second hand stalk for indicators etc, and it has just stopped working, was a bit hit n miss over the week. and if I touched around fuse area would go again. I have know checked fuse , pushed all wires in . Could the relay there be stuffed ???Do relays die ?

Cheers all in advance Drew

Hi Drew,

Yes they do die. I just recently replaced one on my GTV6.

I think you should be able to find one at Sprint/Repco/The Barn etc., etc.. I just took a s/h one from my stock. Let me know if you can't find one and I'll see if I have another.

Cheers

Hi Drew

To keep you going until you can get another, I have had success with opening the relay up and improving the contacts inside with a little wet and dry. Also a little contact cleaner if you have some. It will keep you going until you can source another.

Cheers
Julian

If you're already replacing it, may as well go to repco and get a digital one, $17 Narva, and flashes super fast every time. Despite the crappy earthing out electrics  8)
