I have a 1985 Mercedes 300Turbo Diesel and I am having issues with the
blinker. The hazards work. However, the blinkers do not. They quit all at
the same time. Not the fuse (the ones in the fuse box). I dont know if
there is another fuse? I have heard something about the blinker relay? but
have no idea where this is or what it is. Dont want to spend a bunch of
money on something that is fixable myself....

Thanks for any input!

Greetings,

I just had exactly the same problem on a 1984 300D Turbo. I found that
the Flasher switch needed to be pulled apart and cleaned. It was real gummy
in there and greasy. But the grease is probably not electrically conductive,
so just clean up the contacts and put it back together. Should be fine, mine
was...Small screwdriver to pry it out of the console. Did this 2 months ago
and it has been fine ever since.
