I need the warning-turn lights relay for my TD SUPER 1993, it gets me crazy

What is wrong? I had intermittent problems with mine and I have re-flowed (re-soldered) the connections of the base of the relay. You can see it after you open it, the cover comes off when you pry simultaneously from both sides. After this my turn signals work as they should, maybe worth giving it a try.

Hello, thanks for answer, the problem is that hazard signal starts by itself at any moment, for exemple when driving, or when the car is stopped, or when its on parking place, during night or day, it starts and it makes wrong anti-theft signal and alarm, and empties battery if I don't care.
I've already open the relay but I did'nt see any problem at soldering, but you're right, I shall look at it again.
The damn is the price of that electronic bug, it costs 120 bloody EUROS.

Wow, that's expensive...

I couldn't see any visual defects in mine either, but the turn signals began working only when I pressed on the relay. Just re-flow the solder joints at the base of the relay to be sure.

It is also possible that your hazards button is defective. Don't forget to check the button and all the wiring as well.

Good luck!

If it is ONLY the hazard lights coming on randomly, I am sure it is within the centre console!

I had the same problem and it turned out to be one of the circuit boards in the unit that was corroded, so don't expect that a new relay will change anything.

Thanks, so I will follow your advice, I have another unit ready to use that will take its place soon.

The relay is well solded.
After I will look inside the unit to see if it will be possible to repair it.

I think the issues are due to over-heating inside the unit

Hello, I did it, and after that no more unwanted warning lights on, thanks Alfan

I had a look at the circuit board but I found some rust only on the diode pins.

Ok, I guess it could also be the button and the press functionality that is unstable. In mine it was corrosion.
