Can anybody help? I have a five pin relay that appears to be bad (shake
THe part I took off the back of the fuse box in slot #3 per the owner's
manual is a 5 pin relay HELLA 002684-03 or VW 111 955 531.
All the parts places have is a 3 pin connector type relay for this model.
THoughts? Thanks!
The part you took out is an optional wiper/delay/intermittent timer.
Your flasher should be a 3-term with P/N something like:
191 953 227ATo save some grief, find the Wh wire that goes to Term #49 on the flasher relay. With relay in the socket, Ign sw On, and turn signals On, see if there is 12V on the Wh wire.
If NOT then there is a fuse problem or else the 4-Way Hazard switch is not making contact. Flip it a couple times to see if that cures it.
If there IS 12V on the Wh wire, there is a good chance the flasher is bad.
You can find a simplified diagram of the flasher ckt on my web site.
Sounds good. Ordered a relay (3 pin.) THe one I have has a rattle just like a broken light bulb. Didn't get a chance to check the wires. Should be an 8AMP fuse. That's what I found there when checking. Rob
you can open the flasher relay and fix it easily.
usually it is a burnt magnetic wire in the coil.

Replaced with a three prong relay and same result. Dash turn signal lights, no bulbs though. Emergency flasher doesn't work. Tried to flip/play with it. Looks like it's an after market swith, not what I see on web sites. I guess that's next. Electrical is fun :). Rob
