blinker relay bad

SB77 · 11-13-2019, 02:23 PM

So I have been loosing my mind over blown fuse in cart for a few days. Fuse would blow immediately upon turning key. Took everything apart, unplugged the wires one by one, found the issue was in rear tail light. Replaced tail light, but now the bulb wont blink with flahser or go bright with brake pedal. I know the socket is good because i've swapped rear wires on the relay and it works great. So I am pretty certain it is the relay.

Problem is I cant find that exact relay. Its a GTW 8 pin. I thought about going to auto part store and getting any 4 bulb flasher relay and rewiring everything to it, but they don't seem to sell the pig tails that fit into the relays. So am I stuck buying a whole kit again just to get the relay?

thanks

You mean an 8-pin LED flasher relay like this:

No the pins are arranged differently, they are 4x4 straight pins. But if i could find the other end of the relay you linked, the pig tail, i could probably just rewire everything. But i couldnt find that at the autopart store.

Can You post a picture of the flasher relay You have showing the pin arrangement?

Correction it's 10 pins... 5th slot must be for hazards? I'll take a Pic now. The only flasher relays I am able to find are 6 pin... 9 pin.... 4 pin... Nothing 8 or 10.

Sorry, it looks proprietary to GTW, maybe one of the sponsors will know if spare parts are available.

Yeah there must be more going on inside that box than just a relay right? Maybe just connections. Opening the box looks like it will break it but I don't have much to loose at this point.

I opened the box. All the pins drop into a circuit board covered in silicon or something. So I dunno if I'm better off trying to source a new box or just rewiring everything with a new relay on the flashers and a direct connect between the other lights and horn.

I rewired everything with 4 relays and a flasher. That was super confusing.
