Somebody please tell me where the flasher relay is located on a 05/70. Maybe a photo. Having an issue with CityRacer LED's and my dash lights working correctly. Trying to problem solve.
 
Thanks
55 guy, and Half whacked, were helping me with my 69 yesterday, we found flasher relay behind speedo, sorry
Thanks
 
LEDs can cause a lot of problems , buy good ones with a built in resisters , Your stock flasher might not work with LEDs

These are just the LED headlights- should not be any issues that are happening with my turn signals. I may send them back and just go with the halogen replacements instead of chasing electrical gremlins.
 
LED head lights should not be a problem , Keep emmmm , Check all your other lights for connections and grounds , \
All cruiser guys have that kind of Grimlim mmmmmmmmmmmmmm with lights , You"ll work it out !

this issues your having is NOT related to the @Racer65 LED head lamps kit

its a grounding issue finding a path THU your hazard switch or a bad hazard switch circuit most likely

also ,

remember your head lamps switch also controls your front and rear parking lamps / running lights

another area to confirm and verify

good luck

post any questions you have , we are all here to help you in any way we can :)

I completely agree that the issue is not @Racer65 's LED headlights. They worked great. I did order his upgraded Halogen kit and it arrived today and I installed it.
Before I did that though- I reinstalled my original lights as I had not checked my hazard switch. With original lights installed- the hazards are not functioning, but everything else functioned as it should. Then I checked with the LED's installed and still the hazards did not work.

After installing the upgraded Halogen kit-
In low beam postion- left turn signal- left indicator blinks and right indicator light is dim and blinks.
right turn signal- right indicator blinks and left indicator light is dim and blinks.

In high beam positon- left turn signal- right indicator light blinks
- right turn signal- left indicator light blinks
With original lights- no issues other than hazard not working

But then this happened- took it for a drive tonight- In low beam position- when I moved the blinker to left turn - the headlights started to flash. It happened a couple a times as I drove around the neighborhood, but not every time. Then the kicker- as I pulled into the driveway, I thought I would try the hazards again. When I pulled the switch - it turned on the headlight high beams. Turned off the switch- back to low beam. Tried it again- nothing.

So- who the f&&k knows. I went with the halogens- to keep it simple ,not spend a lot of money and to not chase gremlins. But, I guess it is time to chase gremlins as this is my everyday driver and not something that I would have to just occasionally deal with.

I am going to pull the hazard switch and clean some contacts and maybe order a new turn signal assembly.:bang::bang::bang::bang::bang:
 
Mine is the solid red button early

1964 to 6/70 FJ40, FJ55​

version you have on your site.


well that's a intriguing fact and even more likely the first GEN, 6 wire and 1 single Bullet Connector style / era HAZARD switch is at the center of this Teq mystery ..........

@ToyotaMatt Took apart the hazard switch- cleaned the old grease. Polished all the brass parts in side- added a bit of dielectric grease - put it back together and I now have functioning hazard lights. Will test tonight in the dark to see how everything else works. Still in the high beam position- opposite indicator turn signal lights flash.

like i said ,

i got your back 100% SOLID here , and that's killer kool this was a simple GREMLIN that cost u ZERO Dollars to make right too !


i am making a TECH video on the entire 1st gen hazard switch tonight , for others better understand both its strong points and weak points too


make DAM sure you apply the die electric grease the the 6 pin connector plugs and move in and out several times to help spread the DIELECTRIC LOVE and coat all spade terminals both male and female


using my proscribe TECH above

u can NOT fail !


your now set up for success now so run with it brother


happy to assist as always

kindly

matt :)




ill post tech video here as well


i am glad it was NOT a @Racer65 LED lamps issue in any way , i knew that to be highly unlikely because just like my KUSTOM KIOTO LED Kits i

offer his kits ALSO have inline LOAD Resisters , this makes a CAN-BUS status part and usually NEVER if ever problematic


again good job of the hazard switch restore :cool:



see !

GREMLINS are not so bad when you diagnose and remedy using the : :D

definitely coated all the spade connectors with dielectric grease👍
 
Guess what quit working on my drive to Home Depot and grocery shopping tonight? Hazards switch. Also-I have the occasional flashing headlights when use the turn signals.
