Ticking relay in gearbox tunnel fuse cluster

farriermatt · Jun 3, 2016

I ve just noticed this when I go to turn ignition on and fuelpump starts up I get a ticking from this black relay top left behind the metal bracket next to the red one it continues ticking fast and seems to keep tune with the revs! What is it ?

ok I have worked out its the indicator relay. it clicks normally with indicators on and with hazards on, normal speed etc , but with them off it just goes at it like there is a bulb out which there isn't ,its very annoying. Anyone come across this am I on the right track? just replace it or is there something sinister in the wiring! thanks in advance..

I've no idea but to bump your post...
Led bulbs fitted?

I'm no keen on electrickery, but it does seem odd. If the relay is getting enough current to trigger it, you'd think the indicators would be coming on. Unless it's triggering on and off so quickly, it's not staying on long enough for the bulb to get bright?

I've ordered a new relay just hope it's that. Took the cover off old one all looked fine. Clean dry spring worked. Cleaned up all spade ends and sockets and it was still clicking away..hand signals for a couple of days.
