Hi all, Yesterday I installed the correct flasher unit for my car, a 69. It is a large plastic box with four terminals. Up to now it has had the later three-terminal type. The extra terminal (KBL) goes to the dash lights. On the later type, the dash lights connected to the 49a terminal, which also flashes the indicator lights themselves. My problems is this; when the ignition is off, the emergency flashers work, the red light in the switch flashes, but the dash lights don't flash. When the key is on, the dash lights flash with the indicator lights and emergency flashers. So, my question is; is it supposed to work like this, and if not, does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? Tne relay is obviously getting power when the key is off, because the indicators flash, it's just the dash lights that don't. One solution I suppose would be to connect the dash lights to the 49a terminal on the relay, but I suppose there must have been some reason they kept them separate. With the later type of relay everything worked as expected.
