1974 Super Beetle turn signal/flasher relay
 

Can anybody help? I have a five pin relay that appears to be bad (shake
& sounds like a broken light bulb), signals don't work, flashers don't
work. Checked bulbs - OK.

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!

As I recall (my memory is not perfect) it used a rather standard flasher
and if you take the one you have into the auto parts store they should be
able to find one for you.

3 prong may or may not work, can't remember. Did you happen to try your
local VW dealer since you got the part number. Darn thing can't be that
much.

Tried MOFOCO (local Milwaukee VW) place and all they came up with was
the three prong for around $15. I may give it a try anyway. Just
didn't want to break anything (we all know what that feels like!)
