Emergency relay

[sic'66]

I am at the end of my rope with this turn signal issue!! lol I got all my lights in working order i just need someone to tell me if the emergency flasher relay is also the relay for the turn signals? And if it is can only the turn signal side go out on the relay and still allow the emergency flashers to work? PLEASE help its all i need to get the car inspected and licenced...thanks

What year is the car? Your name has "66" in it, you list a 67 and a 74 as your bugs. I'm assuming this is the 74 since you asked in the late-model forum. But I'll talk about both briefly:

66 and 67 have one LARGE relay box under the hood that operates and switches modes between the turn signals and the E-flasher circuits.

By 1974 they changed it so many of the switching function of that large relay relocated to the E-flasher switch. However the flasher relay, although it's simpler with only 3 terminals on it, still works on both the turn signals and the E-flashers, depending on what position the switch is in.

Earlier you had asked about the inline fuses... In either case your fusebox is under the dashboard - bolted through the body by the steering column on a 66 or 67, combined with a plastic relay panel on a 74 Super. There are no other factory inline fuses outside the fusebox itself, if you see any they are probably for accessories like stereo equipment, extra lights, etc.

On this diagram, tracks 40-51 are the turn signal and E-flasher circuit for a 74 Super. (track numbers are at the bottom of the diagram) Fuses 8 and 12 are the ones the supply the current to it.
