Default What is this?

Turn signals stoped working the other day so I pulled this out of passenger side dash thinking this was the relay, but it is longer skinnier and has 3 prongs...versus the shorter fatter 2 prong that is called for on my 1975 model....

IIRC there are two flashers; one for turn signal and one for hazard.

On another note... it was the 25amp fuse that blew so now everything is fine.... went ahead and replaced the fuse box flasher as well since I was under there

I would still like to know where I can get the specific part and what it does.

Yea...but the head scratcher is the fact that it has 3 prongs instead of two and the female end matches.....and the fact that the spacing on the prongs is totally different.

You're right, that's weird. Maybe it's a combination flasher or something

I removed and replaced the entire dash a few months ago and took lots of photos...

i see now that I pulled the wrong relay.... you can see both the blinker relay and the one I pulled in this photo.
