huggy ar

I'm assuming yours is an AR...

The AR relay is a special part and costs an arm and a leg. It has something like 8 or 9 pins. Yours may have been replaced with an aftermarket one if your front indicators are not on all the time with the lights. I used a 2-pin solid state 'relay' that works for LED and conventional bulbs along with a diode and some creative wiring to fix mine.

Here's how to wire the AR using a 2-pin solid state relay and a diode...

Track down the old relay and unplug it. If you can track down a suitable socket from an old donor loom or from an online supplier, you can build a little sub-loom. Alternatively you can cut, solder and heatshrink to get the following:

Join Orange and Orange/White together (front and rear left indicator feeds)
Join Light Blue and Light Blue/White together (front and rear right indicator feeds)
Connect 2-pin or solid-state relay between Grey (feed to indicator switch) and Black (12v feed in via 5A fuse).

At this point the indicators should work. if you're using a solid state relay and they are not flashing, swap the relay connections over.

Next, to get the dash light working, you need to connect a diode to the blue with orange stripe wire. Connect the other end of the diode to the Grey. if it doesn't work, swap the diode around.

Job done.

Here is the one I used. It copes with conventional and LED bulbs...
