- Directional Flasher location Mk IV and early 1500
- While I had the dashboard apart on the '73 I took a picture. Directional flasher
is a square relay on the back side of the dashboard above the ignition key. Yellow
arrow points to the flasher. Green arrow points to the rivit securing the bracket. JPG image
- Directional vs Hazard Flasher
- Early cars - Mk I, Mk II, MK III
- Did not have hazard flashers - just the directionals. The directional flasher
relay was behind the dash, in a round can next to the fusebox and had three wire
connections.
- Mk IV and 1500 before FM600001
- These cars had hazard flashers using the rectangular rocker switch. The directional
flasher is a square, two wire unit behind the dash (see the photo above). The
hazard flasher is a round 2 wire unit on the engine side of the firewall.
- 1500 - FM60001 and newer
- These cars had hazard flashers using the round pull switch. There is one flasher relay,
for both the directionals and hazards. It is a round, three wire unit, behind
the dash. (not sure exactly where!)
- More information
- Mostly good information on this page -
www.triumphspitfire.com/relays.html.
- Requisite disclaimer
- Like with anything else, some variations may exist. I've only ever seen
square flasher relays on the Mk IV and early 1500s, but that doesn't mean that
they didn't use a round relay or that someone didn't change out the square
relay for a round one. YMMV
