It is really, REALLY helpful to know what car your question is about.
If your car is a W126 as in the picture, the flasher is most likely in the cavity behind the gauge cluster. Pull the gauge cluster and look for a silver box inboard of where the round connector plugs into the gauge cluster. Sixto 87 300D |

If it's a 300D from the same year as my 300CD, don't be surprised at the variable nature of the flashers, depending upon the manufacturer. I think the quality is iffy with some of them. I once bought a new one that was much quieter, but would not reliably work for the four way flashers. Not sure what the problem was but I replaced it with one from a different manufacturer (can't recall the part numbers, sorry). The clicks got loud once again and the four ways worked when needed.

Hazard in on position turns off signal flasher
I thank you as well. My flashers now work. I feel so foolish!

flashers and emergency flasher
Hi, I'm a total newbie to this forum, and have only owned my 81 240D for eight days now, and I have fixed all the issues it had keeping me from getting a safety inspection except the flashers. The turn signals don't flash, and I've got a push button emergency flasher, about two inches by one inch wide, which pushes straight into the console behind the stick shift, and buzzes loudly when pushed, lighting all four corners, but not flashing. I have looked everywhere this thread has suggested, and found no flasher, and the foreign car mechanic has looked at it and believes the flasher is built into the emergency flasher unit. Does anyone know if this is true, and can give me some guidance on this? I could really use the help. mad jack

correct, the flasher is built into that switch.
lemme know if you need one, I'll ship you a used one. (or if you need anything else for your 240!)

I believe the 81s may have gone to the small hazard switch (aprox 1&1/2x1/2 inches), in which case they used a relay for the flashers which is located under the console and fwd of the shifter.

By the by, since the hazard flasher switch has gone out of production, and I anticipate needing another one at some time, I'm working on reverse engineering the circuit for the hazard flasher switch, so if anyone has a bad one they are willing to let go of, it could be easier to figure out a working substitute, I'd be willing to pay a fair price, two to work from would be easier than one. I think the years go from about 77 through 80, with some of the 81s, like mine, having the flasher in the hazard button, the large inch and a half by two inch by two roughly. If anyone out there has already solved this puzzle, I'd appreciate an easy way out. Thanks, mad jack

flasher relay

I'm wondering if your turn signal flasher is built into the hazard switch assembly, as mine is, and was wondering if your dvd gives you any information which might help you resolve the issue. mad jack |
