Hilux Flasher Unit

Post by phippsy »

Is someone able to tell me where to look to find it? Or if it's a 2 or 3 pin jobbie.
Had a quick look around the fuses (both in cab & engine bay) and pulled out what I thought was the flasher unit, but it wasn't.
Cheers

Look for something that looks like a relay but is wearing an overcoat.

what year model? mine (95) is under the dash on the far right behind the switch panels. Youll have to take off the panel under the steering wheel to get at it.

Drivers A pillar, up very high and is bolted to the pillar at the top of it. Without pulling half the dash out you can unplug the wires from it but can not get to the bolt to fully remove it. Its like up behind the bottom of the air vent if that makes sense.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I thought it was up further near the air vent, but hadn't got that far yet.

also mine is not bolted in, there is a small strip of metal attached to the body that the flasher unit slides onto and clips in. Just use a screw driver or your hands if they are small enough and pull it out and away from the body and it should slide off, cant remember if there is a clip or something holding it in place, but once i realised how it was secured it was a piece of piss to get out.

OK so this is proving to be a PITA! got a narva non load sensitive flasher unit, 3 pin (part # 68213BL) plugged it in, tried both indicator and hazards lights and it blew both fuses.

Replaced fuses and put original unit back in, all a ok.

But even to try to use a multimeter on the pins of the standard flasher unit, it will blow the fuse.

Anyone got any ideas???

Try giving narva a call in the meantime i guess.

Had a good look at the Gregory's maunal for the indicator wiring and eventually solved the problem.

The stock flasher unit is 3 pin
1-earth
2-12v constant, this feeds from the hazard switch and only has feed when the indicators are on
3-feed to the indicators.

I got a 3 pin narva non load sensitive flasher unit but it is designed with
1-12v constant
2-indicators
3-pilot lights (the arrows on your dash)

So when I plugged it in it fed the 12v backwards and blew the fuses. To fix, I used the standard 3 pin plug on the harness and used blade connectors to run 1 to earth, then plugged the others with a couple of small leads the right way round on the Narva unit and left one blade of the relay spare.

To put in a non load sensitive flasher unit (Narva one anyway) you only need a 2 pin flasher unit.
