Flasher Relay

[chris snell]

Does anyone know if there is a standard auto parts store compatible unit for the Defender flasher relay?

RN sells them here:

I converted my fuse panel to the new style tonight and had everything working but then when I tried the hazard switch, that didn't work and after that, the turn signals no longer worked. I suspect that either a short or perhaps the relay just died. Not real sure. At any rate, I need a relay.

Is there something I can find locally that will work?

Also, is it common for the hazard switch itself to go out? I'm looking at the ex-MOD wiring diagram and see that the hazard switch acts as the main bus for the power feeding the turn signal column switch and the relay.

Hazard switches are a known failure point.
Lose that and you lose all indicators.
Get rid of it and put in a Carling switch.

I may have a PLE740 in the parts box... I'll check & PM you if I do.

Thanks guys. I'm going to order a new hazard switch and a few spares, plus a relay just in case. I'll post up a write-up on my fuse box conversion eventually.

Pretty sure the hazard switch is NLA

Brian Hall squared me away. He put a few of them in the mail for me today.
