Turn signal stopped blinking
 
Yesterday I noticed that my turn signal stopped blinking on the dashboard. I parked the car and checked to see if it was blinking outside the car and it was not, just a solid yellow light on either side.

What do I need to do to get it blinking again?

The car is a 1969 911 T.

Thanks for your help,

-Nino

Nino--
I'm going to guess that a relay has gone bad, but the electrical gurus here will surely be able to tell you more definitively.

Does anyone know where the turn signal relay is located?

I had a problem like this and found that the bulb was faulty; it made intermittent contact in the housing.

Relay
 
Pull out your oil level/temp gauge. Use a flashlight. It's behind the gauge mounted just forward and down. It's black. If it cooked itself it will show signs of getting hot. They do wear out.

I don't have the part number but don't get an aftermarket one from Autozone or anywhere else. Use a Hella piece and it will work flawlessly. I've had experience with the ones from BAP/GEON and NAPA.

Good luck,

Tom

Bad flasher or bad bulb.

It is a bad flasher. The bulbs all work just fine.

My first DIY replacement on my Porsche was the turn signal assembly...
