That's what's holding the Falcon together. I must say
Black may be the better choice as well. Since the front window is
cracked and going to need replace, might as well just gack it so that

Could be that the console was upgraded? I have not found the red dot
in cars older than 74, but some of the 73s have the larger flasher at
PnP. I guess I could try more resolder, but that was a pain. May just
spring for a used relay and play with the old one at my leisure

I am a lazy SOB, and have spent the past two days chasing a trunk leak
in the driving rain. For the life of me, i have no idea where the
water is getting in. About to park my behind in the trunk with a light
and see where it is getting in. New tail lights with gaskets and newer
trunk seal.

Got me then on red dot. The large thing is what Gump came with.
Finding that console at PnP is rare compared to the other and I would
have to assume from taking the parts out of the console that placement
down low for the larger relay may have interfered with the squirrel
cage for the AC.
I may just have to seal old Gump up for winters and vacuum wrap her to
keep her dry.
What about the periodically-on-sale $170 Harbor Freight portable garage?
I have one but have not set it up, so I can't speak to just how bad it
might be, but it's a thought. I know, it's galling to contemplate
I gave up and went to Benz Friendz for a relay. Seems both the hazard
and the blinker relay were bad. Will re-solder the old ones.

There exist 115's that don't have a hazard system. I have
schematics for them too, and they have a signal relay. Instead!
But I've never seen such a car, every 114/115 I've seen has a
red-dot knob or that gigantic red candy bar. I

I have the candy bar AND the blinker relay. Pulled the blinker
yesterday and resoldered. it worked for maybe 12 blinks then died.
Cycled the candy bar 25 times and no return to blink. Buzzing in the
blink relay.

If you can describe the defog relay, I probably have it. It'd be off of a
76 300D. It might take me a week or two to get it from the car.
I sold the blinker switch to Chuck in Falls Church. Try contact cleaner
and cycling yours.

Will have to go dig the thing out. I was hoping somebody would be able
to point it out by actually having one that I could then dig out of the
foot well. May as well just put her on blocks for a day and dig out
the solder gun.

Unlikely, IMO, to be a fault with the relay itself, or a problem with
the fuses.

The relay makes the noise, the blink do not blink. The hazards work
just fine and blink all around, even when the signal choses not not
function.

The hazard relay? Gone bad? But it works and the other one is not.
SO, just clean them both?
I'm confused. Both what? The _only_ flasher is the combination
hazard switch/flasher relay. One part. Does it all.
