Hello everyone, thanks in advance for allowing me to join this group. I’m hoping someone can help me out in either sourcing out this Panasonic 12V relay used in a Kubota RTV flash unit for turn signalling or find a replacement relay that would do the same job. The entire relay module cost $160.00 to replace when all that is failing in the unit is one of two small Panasonic relays part number ACTB1F1A03. I have attached a few pictures for anyone to review. I’ve tried now for the last two weeks to source the relay out. From what I can gather from Panasonic, this relay is designed and sold only to a specific Japanese part manufacturer that makes this specific flasher unit for Kubota. I am assuming that the flasher has a left and right side since only one side of my turn signals was failing. This particular relay only has 4 pins that are soldered to a small PCB board. The problem was on the failed side of the turn signal, the lights were just staying on and not flashing. I was hoping that a $5.00 - $10.00 relay would be an easy fix but finding the specific Panasonic relay seems to be the bigger issue. I have several years of experience in electronics and computer repairs. Actually started repairing computers by tracing failed components, unsoldering them (chips with up to 48 pins) and replacing them. Now a days, there’s not one computer tech that ever requires to solder or unsolder anything in a computer! (LOL). Anyways, hoping someone can help… see pictures attached for more details.
