Post subject:  Mystery part?

I found a relay looking part underneath the glove box in the Dart and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. It's kinda purple in color and the part # is 2983872 and underneath is 93596-A. It's got three connectors on it and I couldn't find it anywhere in the wiring diagrams.

Any thoughts?

And also, how can I check the voltage regulator and condensor for the instrument panel to make sure everything's still good?

Could it be the turn signal relay?

You mean the flasher? Nope. I changed that one out just a few months ago. The flasher's a little round thing that I found under the factory radio.

It could be a door buzzer of some sort. You didn't mention the year of the car.

As far as checking the voltage regulator, I would check the voltage at the fuel gauge. One of the terminals should read about 5 volts in about one second pulses. Bottom line is that if the gauges are working, don't mess with it.

It's a 1970, the basic Holley 1920, no-extras, 7 1/4" axle model.

The voltage regulator turned out to be the original mechanical one, so I went ahead and changed it over to an electrical using the DIY guide from Mopar Muscle.

It could be the 4-way flasher relay.

I found that next to the steering column while trying to tear out the instrument cluster :P

Still perplexed...

What year Dart? My Valiant(1975-6) have the HORN RELAY mounted on the left end of the plastic glove box. The tab on the relay fits a slot in the glove box.

It's a '70, but it was made right at the 69/70 cutoff, so I see alot of '69 parts that work with it (such as the 68/69 instrument cluster :roll: ) and vice-versa. This was bolted to the actual sheetmetal of the dash, underneath the glove box. Has three connectors on it. I would think it it were any kind of relay it'd have four connectors wouldn't it?
