Hello to all,

I realize this thread is quite old, but since I have benefited from the information shared here, I thought I would add my solution to finding an economical replacement for my defective turn/flasher relay. So, here it is: I discovered that relay P/N 111.953.227 D, as found on many VW and Audi cars is quite suitable as a replacement for this application. As mentioned by others on this thread, it requires the making of short leads with female blade connectors on one end and bayonet connectors on the other end of the leads. The labeled pin numbers of this replacement relay match those of the original relay, which are: 49 - 49a - 31. Simply insert your newly made leads into the corresponding holes of the relay base -- NOTE: it is imperative to carefully identify and match the original connecting pin holes, or the fuse will be blown! Connect the wire leads to the relay blades being sure to match them to their corresponding numbers on the replacement relay. CAREFULLY identify these pins before inserting the leads into the relay socket! The referenced replacement relay is easily obtained from any number of sources. I found mine at a pick and pull salvage yard. The cost was minimal and I also obtained a few doo-dads that were missing on my car while I made the rounds at the salvage yard.

I hope this is of some benefit to others.
Cheers,
Rick C
