turn signal relay
« on: October 13, 2011, 05:04:19 PM »
Hey everyone......What is the best replacement for a bad turn signal relay on a '77 400F. I can't seem to find anything vintage that works. I've heard that a modern one is more reliable, but what should I be looking for and how can I hook it up?

Go to your local auto parts and ask for an electronic two prong flasher. Should work flawlessly but you will need to get a bit creative with the mounting...Larry

When I switched to LED's I picked up an electronic relay at autozone.  The part # is FL552/536LL.

did the same on my 74 550. It rocks, since it no longer changes speed on the flasher depending on the rpms. Same speed all the time.
