****Disclaimer: It is your responsibility to do this work and take this DIY in your own hands.I am not liable whatsoever if you damage your car. If you are not completely comfortable doing this modification, then I would not suggest you do this yourself ***

If your turn signal indicator (the two arrows in your speedometer cluster) is intermittently acting up try this before replacing the relay! This worked on my car, and on a friends.

Time Required:: 15-30 min


TOOLS NEEDED::::
[ul][*]Flat head small screwdriver[*]larger flathead screwdriver[/ul][ul][*]LOTS OF Patience[/ul]Step 1: BE CAREFUL! REMOVING THIS PLATE, Pull lightly and try not to break the tabs... if you do put a dab of krazy glue when re-assembling.





STEP 2:: Once you have that face cover removed -> Remove the Hazard Flasher Relay...







STEP 3: Once you have it pulled out, disconnect the harness at the back, WE now are going to remove the red face. Be careful here. Use your small flathead to gently pry it loose. (green arrows)







Step 4:: Now we are going to remove the metal clips on the side..

THERE IS A LITTLE TAB on the end that prevents it from moving, you have to push it down and slide the metal clip outwards


Now slide the metal clip out.

Step 5 : Now we disassemle the housing from the cover


USE your small flathead to push that red arrow tab in, and pull outwards on the green area.


CAREFULLY slide it out, be very very cautious.

STEP 6 ::: Now we modify the relay clicker thing.. BE CAREFULL HERE use light pressure with your smaller flathead







NOW BEND the little tab towards the relay center...




There you have it, that should fix it, now carefully re-assemble carefully and test it before you put everything back together.

 

Nice DIY. Now go clean your finger nails and shape up those cuticles [8D]

 

i dont even want to know how you figured all that out

 

AAAGGGHHH!!! I can't get the relay housing (step 2) out of the dash. Help!
P.S. My turn signal just stays on constantly.

 

Its pretty difficult.. you cant get it out of the dash or the cover housing on the relay itself?

 

lol

 

jsut wondering y u don't have an esp button between ur hazard button and ur rear light button

 

I believe its an option

 

B6 A4's have a different kind of Hazard switch. Does this work on them too??

 

would you be able to do something similiar in order to have your front parking lights off when headlights are on and only turn on when the blinker is used?
