Hi everyone! I'm a new member to the forum. I have a 77 vette that I'm restoring. I took the dash out and found a round metal flasher(?) type device(two times the size of a regular flasher). I can not find it in any of the books or drawings that I have. All of the other flashers are present and accounted for. No one I've talked too have any idea what it could be.I'm hoping someone could give me a hand in finding out what it is. Thank you for any help you can give me!!!!

maybe for the hazards, unplug it and see if flashers work. I personally am content without knowing what all the stuff under my dash operates, in time it all seems to crap out and I figure I'll deal with it then, and only if I have to!

do all the flashers work ?

Thanks!! All flashers(haz & dir) work. I have unplugged the(whatever it is) because it was getting warm and warmer to the touch with ignition switch off. I think I will reroute it to a position that I can get to once I put the dash back in. What do you think?

I think a picture is worth a thousand words....

I don't know about the 77 vettes, but some vettes have two flashers and one if for the alarm system if I remember correctly.

x2 on pictures... maybe a part # on the relay would help as we'll...

Either do we. Post a pic of what you found and where you found it.

if its up above the tach and has an orange wire going to it i think its the courtesy light dimmer. if you disconnect it your interior lights will never go off. 1977 drawings dont show much on it. i think thats what it is.

It sounds like it could be a flux capacitor. Have you had the car up to 88 miles per hour yet?

Keep the shiny side up!

i was thinking the exact same thing today

My exwife had one of those Flax Cupusiter thingys, it used to make her mouth do 88 mph every month for 4 weeks
But I think it's the light delay timer too, it's getting warm because it's running the lights [up close to the tacho??, was on my Bro's 77 anyhoo]
