[Healeys] Again with the BN6 Flasher Relay

[M Lempert]

I have an untested relay in my BN7 (ebay purchase). I replaced the original 
because of some funky wiring that sort of indicated not all was well with 
it.  I'd like to test the thing before firing up the car for the first time 
(plenty of time). Does anyone have a good bench test method for the relay ?

Regards,
Mike Lempert
