Turn Signal Woes
My Turn signals have been acting up. When the signal is on it tends to (but not always) stays on, with no Click/strobing of the lights.
Sofar I've replaced the voltage regulater and all of my lights. I'm stumped, am I missing a relay somewhere, or a bi-metallic strip?

If you've replaced bulbs and they operate, it's not an earth problem, if your indicator arm/switch operates normally and the lights activate, its not it. Can only be the 4 pronged beastie, what else? The only other thing is a one armed person is driving the vehicle and is unable to operate the indicator arm and steer at the same time.. Hope that helps. 280SL Down Under |

Whats the location of the relay?
It's not in the fuse box with the rest of them. Hazard switch has the same problem, it just turns all the light on (yes I've cleaned that also)

If you can give me the first 6 numbers of your VIN I may be able to find it for you.
Cheers, Geo. |

Check underneath the gear shift wood console. As I recall, that's where it is on the 123 model. If not there, check behind the dash to the left of the instrument cluster. It's located there on my SL.

Found what looks to be it, under the cluster. part numbers dont match up, and it's only a 3-pin. None are listed like this in the catalog.

FIXED.
thanks everyone. A bit of Caig de-oxit spray and some di-electric grease and it works as good as new.
