there are many sorts of five pin relay for varying purposes.

Can someone point me towards the correct type then? I thought they all worked on the same basic principle.

What relay have you got?

My relay is one of these

I'm now also struggling with the flasher relay. It's not flashing, just giving constant 12v :(

Is there a way to test the relays (especially the flasher), as i've been offered a replacement, if its faulty.

Have you got the lights attatched to the flasher?

The five pin looks like a normal changeover relay.

I've not got all the lights attatched to a flasher, just the front ones. It's getting a 12v but not flashing???

Also, that's what i thought about the 5 pin, but that's causing problems too :(

I seem to recall a problem on my sierra, try connecting another lamp. and see fi the relay begins to flash. In nor mal operation you have the load of 4 lamps (front,rear,side, tell tale)

What have you got connected to what on the 5pin.

The 5 pin one is connected as per the v1.3 diagram in this thread.

I'll try connecting more lights this afternoon :)

I've got my changeover relay wired up as per the diagram and seems to be working fine using the telltales (haven't fitted the full lights yet). I used the changeover relay (blue one) I found in the ford fusebox. Wiring should be to

With regard to the indicators, I left everything wired up as it was on the sieera column. You need to earth the brown wire from the flasher relay. Then find the indicator wires on the column. Check the colours carefully against the diagrams as I have seen a diagram which you need to hold upside down. Not near the car now but I think grn/blk is the RHS indicator. Connect your lamp up to this wire, and then to your earth and the wire should flash, albeit at a fast rate. Did exactly this on the weekend and it is working fine.
