'69 KG directionals dead.

In my 70 T3 its the same relay. Wont affect the flash rate driving all four
lamps because it is designed to detect a halving off current when a lamp
goes out. Current obviously increases when all four lamps go on. You can pop
the cover off these flasher relays and clean contacts.
Its a fiddle but you can also uncrimp the emergency switch and clean
contacts there.  Probably just as easy to spend a few dollars and get a new
one.  Fuses ok?

Mystery close to solved. replacing the flasher. 3 prong square pants.
didn't do the deed. so in my infinite wisdom  I pulled on a few wires
and voila they are now working.   only 43 y.o. and the connectors must
have oxidized. /The emergency flashers still don't work, I wonder who
has these parts.
Thanks for the help.

You might try Volkswagen.  Yes, logic says they won't have parts for a 43
year old car.  And they probably won't.  But I've had a couple of
experiences with them that were surprising.  Their parts indexing is pretty
good and they've found things against all reason.  My particular project is
only 25 years old, but they recently found "only two in the country" for an
oil pump I needed.

I very much suspect the problem is the emergency switch if blinkers now work
ok.  When operated, terminal 49a connects to
terminals L and R on switch and the "+" terminal swaps over from terminal 15
to 30. See if you can get some contact lubricant / cleaned into the switch
and operate it a few dozen times.

yeah, I'll try that. thanks again.
Let's keep those ACVW's alive.
or die trying.

I really like Deoxit for these kinds of things.  Have used it on
(non-VW) terminals that were covered in dried acid, after dunking them
in a baking soda solution and rinsing.  As long as the terminals an
wires are mechanically OK it does a good job.  Packing with silicone
grease afterwards helps prevent future corrosion, although the Deoxit
supposedly has some corrosion protection properties itself.

The Deoxit website certainly sings its praises. Bit dear but if it does the
job......
