**Locating the Flasher Relay**

Post by MRE21 »

Hi Guys,

Has anyone changed their flasher relay? Where is it? and where can I get a replacement? (GSF said they did not supply them anymore?)

Thanks

Ali

It's inside the steering column shroud as I recall, undo the two screws holding the bottom bit on and it should be there. Fairly standard relay, any motor factors should have one, or try euro car parts.

How much would shops cost me if I have them replaced my flasher relay? I've seen from this relay list that it would be cheaper if I replace it myself since a relay cost less than $20.. problem is the level of difficulty of the DIY..

I would buy the relay switch and fit it yourself. I should have taken pictures for people to see, but it really is easy! All you need is a star screwdriver (large) and unscrew 4 screws underneath the steering column. They are quite long so be patient! Once you have removed the screws, unclip the plastic cover and you will see the black relay switch- Just unclip and replace with new. It should take you about ten minutes! I thought it would be difficult but it was quite straight forward. Good luck :playcar
