I’m so glad I found your video. I went to the scrap yard and got a relay for £2, fitted it and “voila” it worked. Really fiddly job but I did it and it cost £2. Thanks so much for your video.
Video most useful - thanks. As others have said, getting it out is a pita! For those that can solder and repair printed circuit boards, thers's a much cheaper option than buying a replacement flasher. One can carefully prise off the case of the flasher and there is a small Omron G8QN relay on a printed circuit board. That is the faulty component which can be unsoldered and removed. Be very careful with the soldering iron and solder sucker as surface mounted components are close by. The Omron relay has been discontinued but a replacement one, Part No MCCMA51-S-DC12V-C is available from CPC Farnell for £0.98 inc VAT plus postage. Don't blame me if you damage the flasher but you've not lost anything, but could have saved £50+, as you'd have to buy a new flasher anyway. Good luck.
You made my day!!!. I tried to get first a replacement blinker relay, but two listed as compatible were too large... so I read this comment, opened the relay assembly and BINGO!!!, the inner relay is KO. I have just ordered from Farnell a replacement. Thanks A LOT !!!
Excellent video. Good that you use OEM relay. Some aftermarket relays don't fit. While their 3 pins likely do fit, the relay box may not fit in the groove of the relay holder (grey part with the clips).
That freaking relay was hard to get out. I took that bolt out on the bottom corner and lowered that electric box to get it out a bit easier. It did fix my problem! Thanks
My daughter's 2009 left turn signal started to flash rapidly and I couldn't figure out where the relay was and the state inspection is due this month. Great video an d thanks for the helpful information.
This guy is a legend, thanks alot saved alot just by watching this video, and the explanation was very good, the part where the relay popped out was funny though 😄 Nice one bro
Just so you know a fuse can test good and still not work just had it happen to me and it was a Acura RSX wasn't for the turn signals it was for starting the car but still it can happen they'll test good you'll put it in and it won't work I changed it with an oem fuse that was used the car started right up put the new fuse back in the car didn't start just putting that out there that it can still be a fuse and try to use OEM fuses not cheap aftermarket ones. That fuse was in there for a year never had a problem until the other day
Thx a lot for the tips.Take into account that it is possible to work eassily if you unscrew the fuses board. I tryed to find the relay in the auxiliary market, but there is no information of the esqueme, I went to a Honda dealer....that is 80€....then I went to a scrap yard....and 2€ solved the issue!!
Bro, thanks a lot. You are a superstar. Your video really helped me. One more thing where did you buy the new relay from? I checked online it's about £60 and not sure it'll fit. I really don't want to order online and find out it's not the right one and go through the return hassle.
Thanks bro appreciate it, i did have it recorded but the camera kept shaking and i didn’t want the video to look unprofessional. 💪🙏💯 subscribe to my car builds and reviews
I'm surprised so many people don't look to the relay as the first source of the problem. I'm having the same problem. My signal will blink once, and then nothing. However, when I push the emergency/hazard switch, all the lights bling continuously, at a normal frequency. This makes me think it's either a faulty signal relay, or a faulty switch (the toggle stem switch on the steering column). The relay costs about 12.00 to 30.00 USD and easy to instal. The switch can be removed, inspected, without buying anything. Sometimes the switch connections are dirty, sometimes wires are loose. Some of the problems with the switch can be fixed by cleaning the connectors or repairing the wire connections. The switch costs about 40.00 to 90.00 USD.
FYI. I didn't have a new relay to look at, so I assumed the tabs on the relay were small. I wasted a lot of time trying to pull the relay, and is seemed like it was stuck. Problem was I hadn't pried the little locking clips out far enough.
So even if the blinkers work 50% of the time it could be this? Cause mine work most of the time but then it stops, it is off and on, it's a 2004 honda civic coupe
Castleclasher 80k yes that’s exactly what I experienced its a common fault, i thought it was the wires or the fuse box so i checked all the fuses and they were all fine, this is why i made the video to help others because its a simple fix because your relay fuse has died so change this and I’m 100% sure it will fix the problem. Hope the video helped thanks for the question.
It's a terrible design, especially because that wire harness places a lot of pressure on top of the fuses and relays in that box. If you look at the bottom of the box, there should be a hex bolt with a phillips slot as well. If you remove that screw, the box will slide down a bit, to give you access to the relay. The little locking tabs on the relay are huge, so you have to pry the clips on the box away about a 1/8" to make room for pulling the relay.
Hide Seek this was the one simple solution to my otherwise relentless issue. After unscrewing that phillip hex, i was able to slide the entire fuse box down to nearly the ground and was able to extract the stubborn ass relay.
Just for anyone looking in future the Denso 38300-S5T-004 relay listed in the description works for an EP3 Type R. It's grey and has a different top, but fits fine and works the same. The original Omron one shown in the vid is much harder to track down and expensive.

RoroThe King check the fuses in the fuse box get a fuse tester and check each brake fuse chip! Theres 2 fuse boxes one under the bonnet and one under the steering wheel. Hope that helps
@@edgarmonroy4867 there are 2 fuse boxes one in the engine bay and one under the steering wheel check both of them and under the fuse box cover will say which one is for the lights
Try changing the fuses inside the fuse box you have one under the bonnet next to the battery and one under the steering wheel, use a fuse tester to see which ones working and which ones not.
DiddlyThaMan I have it on order, hasn’t arrived yet. I ended up shoving a paper towel in between the button and the vent and that closed whatever shorted wire it had and it works.

Great instructions!
UNSCREW THE ENTIRE FUSE HOUSING BOX, ITS ONE BOLT, AND PULL IT DOWN TO CHANGE THE RELAY. ( dont struggle trying to get it out all the way up there )
Many thanks, gravity was my friend once I used your suggestion
i just spent HOURS trying to reach the fucking relay without unscrewing the bolt and then saw this
Which tool exactly is needed for this? Thanks.

Was it the relay or switch that was faulty on your car, as I have exactly the same issue as you’ve described? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi, are you in UK? Where you get your relay part? If go to Honda garage should be expensive, i have one from eBay, but not the right size! Thanks
your welcome bro
Have this exact problem but in my SI there are 3 giant cable sleeves blocking the way.
Ahhh i guess the struggle is real, i hope you get it fixed soon🙏 i love si’s
I have the same problem, I guess we need to take those sleeves off... otherwise is just madness trying to take that relay.

What if that don’t work I checked the fuses changed the relay now what do I look at

What if I already replaced this and it’s still not working?
i would check the fuses next
Does this work in Honda civic 2010
yes any honda
Omg my dad is whining the past hour cause he can't take off the fuse
Are you sure I think it's the other relay box beside that one.
When I turn my indicators on. It just stays on, it doesn't blink...same with the hazards. Plz help😭😭
