This product is an NOS Part.
NOS items are OEM parts from Ford that have been sitting on shelves or in warehouses for years. These are often great examples of the orignal parts, but they may have scratches or other shelf wear.
However be aware that some NOS parts are "service replacement" parts. "Service replacement" parts are not exact replacements of the parts that were installed at the factory, but are what Ford considered as "good enough" and were used at Ford dealerships after the original supply of parts was exhausted.
We often leave NOS product listings on our website after they sell for reference purposes.
1968 Mercury Cougar K-8 and K-9 turn signal relay assembly. K-8 for the passenger side, K-9 for the driver side turn signals. Also is integral to the brake light circuit. Clean used unit that is tested and will be functional. This unit will not be rusty, have internal water damage, May have minor repairs, no cut wires. Trouble shooting these systems is takes time. A single bad ground at any portion of the turn signal circuit can cause no end to problems.
When these relays are not energized, their contacts are positioned for the stop lamp operation. This is a tested unit. Again, we highly recommend abandoning this antiquated system and converting to our new solid state system.
