Title: LED Flasher
Post by: Jack the Knife on June 07, 2025, 17:43:37
Hey all,

Nearing completion of my car, finally...

Attached I have a photo of an LED flasher, which I have connected spades to so it can go into the OEM outlet. Does anyone know the order in which these spades go?

I wish I had Chris' connector, since his is labeled. His is a '9624,' where mine is an '8624' with no numbers on the plug-in side.

Ah, so:

Wire colours in the plug:

brown - to your new black
black/white/green - to your new blue
black/red/green - to your new red

Maybe ChatGPT of all things has solved the mystery, though I'd still appreciate an expert's opinion...

There are three prongs on the original Hella flasher relay - one is marked with 31, and one is marked with 54. It says, "31 and 54 are terminal designations based on the DIN 72552 standard," and that specifically:

31: This designates the return line to battery negative or ground.
54: This terminal is for the trailer plug connections and lighting combinations, including the brake light.
In summary, on a Hella flasher relay, terminal 31 is the ground connection, and terminal 54 is an output used for trailer lighting and brake lights.


So...

Blue wire: light, or 54
Red wire: positive, or 15 (on some other flashers, not on mine).
Black wire: negative, or 31.

Hope it's right!

Ah, so:

Wire colours in the plug:

brown - to your new black
black/white/green - to your new blue
black/red/green - to your new red

Ah, many thanks!
