Early model Hazard relay 1978-1981 not available!!
You can find used ones online but most of them don’t work!
You can disassemble the relay and replace the two radial capacitors,
The large capacitor is 47 mfd 16v and the smaller capacitor is 1 mfd 63v (try find the same or higher voltage) I purchased mine from Radionics Ltd in Dublin, Ireland.
Remove the case and desolder pin 49a (found on the relay diagram) remove the circuit board, the two capacitors are at the bottom left of the board, desolder the two capacitors and re solder the new ones (make sure to have the correct polarity (-/+) with thin solder or use a solder wick if there’s a bit too much solder there to avoid a making contact with both pins. Cut the excess pins from the underside of the board.
Clean up everything inside with contact cleaner and gently wipe it down, refit the circuit into place , re solder pin 49a and refit the two springs on the two black stubs, refit the case and test.
Thanks for watching!!
