Title: Turn signal relay
Post by: Dyzel on April 18, 2011, 04:50:06 PM
Hi, the alarm signal is working, all 4 lamps are blinking well, but the turn light left,right side is no working. There aren't more relays, only the alarm relay which sounds (click,click :D ). When i try to blink to left,right side nothing happens. What to do?? i think that the relay of alarm signal is not the same with left and right blink relay yes? FIAT 126p 650 92 y.

Hi,

The old bimetal ones are 12V 46W. I'm no auto electrician but i reckon these could be the problems with your turn signals if the hazard lights are working ok:
Fuse (other things wouldn't be working though) location B-2 in the fuse box
The relay isn't working (or faulty contacts)
The turn signal switch on the steering column is faulty
I have an electric one installed in mine as they don't sell the old types anymore. You can find the relay from the boot just in front of the glovebox (old dashboard), or look along under the scuttle panel on the right hand side of the boot (passenger side). It's easy to acess. If you switch the turn signal on feel the relay to see whether it's warming up or give it a few small taps or flicks with your finger (might just be stuck). Or if there's another 126 at hand try your relay in the other 126 and see whether it works or not.
