flasher relay what make/model will work?(no Zs in junkyards)

[Guest thebarracuda]

My flasher relay crapped out. I need a new one quick.

(emergency flashers work, blinkers dont)

 

I took my 79 280zx in to get a few things fixed (shocks replaced, blinkers fixed, panels welded)

 

It looks like they replaced my flasher relay with a 2 prong generic relay.

will ANY 3 prong relay work so long as it fits?

 

I'm heading off to the junkyard pretty soon. please help.

Not just any 3 prong relay. They come in a stupid variety of prong configurations.

 

Looking at the prong side of the flasher, the terminals should be labeled in the order of left to right, E L B. Where the E and the B prongs are vertical and the L Is horizontal. Something like this:

 

| E | B

. _ L

I found that "if the turn signal fails on both sides, the fault may be due to a blown fuse, faulty flasher unit or switch, or a broken or loose connection.."

checked and the fuse is not blown.

 

I looked closer to the female end of the relay and ithas written on it

"pass, drive, and ground"

 

the other, 2 prong one has X and L written on it

 

 

confused? me too.
