-74 end of resto, now electrical gremlins or surprise features?

[gtBen]

I'm seeing the end of an 11 years resto on my 1974 911 US base model and I have now found some interesting ”electrical happenings”. Originally the -74 has the seat belt relay but it was already deleted ...and maybe some gremlins were instead installed!

No.1
The brake light warning lamp is flashing (ignition on) when the hand brake is applied, it has the same sound as the turn signals. Ok – it may be handy so you don't forget to relase the hand brake, but is this an-unknown-to-me-feature or something I should get rid of?

No.2
The indicator lights in the tach for turnsignals are default lit up on both sides all the time, but are flashing correctly when using the turnsignals. The side not in use is still lit all the time. Looks like electrical gremlins to me! Any suggestions what to do?

Everything else that I've been able to test is working correctly.

No. 1 is normal, at least for my '72. So I assume that is still how it worked in '74.

No. 2 sounds familiar to me, but I can't remember any details. I think something is connected wrong, or possibly an incompatible flasher unit is installed.

Thanks Arne, you were right
No.1 - That's great
No.2 - I had a spare flasher relay to put in and that did the trick, a bit strange that I also had to swap places on the indicator lamps but everything works great now

Tomorrows task will be the dead radio
