The Hazard flashers didn't work since I've restored it. Recently got a good switch that works and hooked up everything and they still didn't work. I figured it was the relay and I was placing an order anyway and got this. Moss part # 171-320. There are no instructions as to what wires go where. Anyone know how to set one up? I didn't open the bag in case I needed to return it.

Look on the side or top of the relay; there should be a schematic showing the connections. Usually there two connections for the coil labeled 85 & 86.
The common connection is #30 NC (normally closed) is 87a and NO (normally open) is 87.

Thanks for the link Elliot. That should help and there is no schematic on the side.

The schematic of the pin out is usually on the side or maybe the top. In any case, you have them now.
 
OK got my new relay in and with the addition of rebuilt steering column and LED upgrade on dash lights I finally got it all together. Tried the refurbished hazard switch first and nothing happened. No hazard lights. I can hear and feel the relay kicking in and it gets warm after a while. Noticed that the trafficator light doesn't work if turning on the left turn signal. Wonder if there is some relationship there. Looking at the wiring diagrams I see a hazard flasher unit. Never remember seeing one on my car. The turn signal one on the right side is the only one I know of. Don't even see where one can be mounted. I would think that with out it that the hazard lights would come on just not blink?
 
Daha! Found it. Was looking under the dash most of the time. Decide to take the relay out of my 69 Tr6 I'm restoring and saw the relay next to it. Took it out and installed it in the 250 and wahla I've got flashers.
