TN A few Questions from a newbie

So, I've recently purchased a 1985 RX-7 GSL and theres a few things that have come to my attention, before I purchased it the turn signals and hazards just stopped working, now I was told this was the relay and it would need to be replaced, seeing as no junkyard around me has a donor car, how should I go about doing this? I have tried finessing the wiring and it won't do. I'm new to these cars so some help would be greatly appreciated. Also, the door panels were changed from the original, just wondering if there is a good place to get some OEM parts or maybe a donor car to start finishing off my new toy. Other than that I've not noticed too much I cant handle myself.

You can try Atkins Rotary - Rx7 | Rx8 | Mazda | Rotary | Engine | Parts or https://www.mazdatrix.com/ for some parts. OEM will run a hefty price.

I will check at work tomorrow if we have a used relay and or a new one for your car. Best of luck on your parts search!

Welcome to the forum!

I can't tell you what that part does, but I can tell you that if you cruise on over to the first gen parts section and post a wanted ad and/or look at the parts for sale section you might find what you're looking for.

You could also look at the other 1st gen forums and maybe find a thread with some good info in it.

Good luck!
