[Healeys] Again with the BN6 Flasher Relay

[john close]

Sorry if y'all are getting sick of this.I got all excited about Norman Nock's advice to clean the contacts and whipped that sucker on out of the Healey and took off the cover. Dang if it isn't a modern kind with a printed circuit board and 2 little relays. I forgot I replaced the original one years ago. Putting on my specs and examining it more closely, though, I saw that the little copper strip from the #5 terminal had fried a little and broken it's litle old self. That explains the inop brake lights. I'm a-wonderin' could I solder in a little bridge between the rivets on either side of the break? Seems like that'd work.... What do you think? What about the cause? All inputs totally welcome. Thank you - JRC
 
PS - A little irony here. Years ago, I had an engineering job with the Air Force's Space Division. Big problem on satellites back then was crazing of printed circuit boards. Now I have the same problem on my 59-year-old Healey.
