8t1911 Posted 3April, 2013 Report Share Posted 3April, 2013 Hi The indicators on my 1981 SC only work, and then for just a couple of flashes, when I hit a bump or when I give the dash a bit of contact counselling. I'm assuming the flasher can, or maybe the flasher relay has failed. Can someone tell me where they are fitted, My book says they are under the dash near the radio, but they must be well disguised. I've taken the tacho and oil gauge instruments out, but I still can't find either unit. Any help would be appreciated. I assuming the flasher can is a small aluminium cylindrical unit. Is that correct? Maybe its in front of me, and I am looking for the wrong thing. Thanks in advance Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterP Posted 4April, 2013 Report Share Posted 4April, 2013 Hi Ken, Must be the change of season as my 78SC has started doing the same thing. I found the flasher unit behind the clock but accessed from under the hood after removing the cover. Mind you, having the hands of a very small person would help enormously !! Mine was sort of floating freely under there and is a square unit. If I squeeze it they work so assume some sort of connection problem. I need to know whether they are a specific item for a Porsche as I think I need to replace. Be interested in any others feedback, Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8t1911 Posted 5April, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 5April, 2013 Hi Peter Yeah, it is behind the clock as advised, thanks, and it is a square black unit, not the cylindrical aluminum case that I was looking for. It is pretty easy to access once you gently ease the clock out. And I don't think you have to use a genuine Porsche item as the unit removed from my car has a Hella number on it, and I am sure it could be sourced locally. Replacing the flasher unit cured the problem. Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
