hazard relay

Post by maytag »

Hey y'all:
so I'm working through the turn-signal / hazard lights circuit in my rewire. I think I understand from the diagrams just how this is supposed to work, BUT: my relay "buzzes", instead of "relaying". is it SUPPOSED to buzz in addition to switching? (this relay circuit has never worked since Ive owned the car) I'm just trying to narrow-down if the relay is bad, or if I've misunderstood the wiring.
I'm no Boy-Racer..... but if I can't take every on-ramp at TWICE the posted limit.... I'm a total failure!

By Relay are you referring to the flasher?? I could be missing it but the wire diagram for a 1976 does not show a relay for the signal/flasher circuits. I know my 81 does not have one for sure. The Hazard switch switches power to the flasher from hot in "start and run" for signal lights to "hot all the time" for hazards. Also in "hazards" it jumps left and right so all 4 flash. maybe yours is different.
