Has anyone found a fix for the 996 flasher relay, my 1999 996 has always had a problem in that the relay is inaudible in normal driving. I have a degree of hearing loss but friends who have good hearing also have a problem hearing it in normal driving conditions. Early 996's also have very dim direction arrows and a selector mechanism that often does not self cancel.

 

I have tried a new relay using a different brand to the factory fitted unit but it made no difference. This week I bought a simple 12 volt buzzer and tried wiring it into the relay circuit.

 

Edited November 15th.

After a couple of unsuccessful attempts I figured out how to make it work. I soldered the positive wire from the buzzer to the post marked 49 and the negative wire to post 49c. Works well, it was a bit too loud so I covered the outlet hole on the buzzer with a small adhesive patch with a smaller hole punched into it.
