Need Blinker Assistance - I hear the relay, but no blinker.

Symptom: I hear the blinker relay click on and off, but the blinkers do not come on. Not the dash lights or body-blinkers.

Premise: There were a few wires hanging near the pedals/stearing column that I zip-tied to the stearing columns.

Any Ideas?

Kent

If the CPU is clicking, but the lights are not working, you have a bad CPU flasher board or all the lights are burnt out.

The input from the switch is in the same plug as the output to the lights.

I do have rebuilt flasher boards for the CPU on my webstore, or any S4, S5 or S6 RX-7 and the MX-3 has the same flasher board.

Yeah, probably cold solder joints, but it could also be bad/old relays

The relays are Omron, found at Digikey. I don't remember the number.

And no they are not standard flashers.
