Just making sure you saw this post, you might have missed it at the page break.Yes, I am talking about that image. I was just just looking at it a few minutes ago. It's not as clear as I recall. Because he cut the trace from p7 it doesn't help us. It's also clearly different. Sorry about that.
In your picture I can't make out the p1 dot or notch. Can you look closely at your chip and try to identify a notch in the side edge? It'll most likely be the bottom left corner. Once you find p1 as indicated by a dot or notch, just count in a counter clock-wise direction to p7.
Good luck!

While it works in this situation, and I have not seen it any other way, the actual pin 1 marking on the chip is the bevel on the (in this orientation) bottom side of the chip. This indicates which side pin 1 is on, and Pin 1 is on the top when oriented with the bevel to the left....The chip in your picture has no dot or notch. That means it must default to the third way of finding pin 1 - the text...
Fyi; It's a trace, not a track. It doesn't matter, cut the pin or the trace.Next i'll also have to mod my flasher relay. Just to clarify, is the pin being cut between the board and the chip, or the track sliced like I see in one of the posts?
How? Care to share!I found a fix. just tuned out the error with my tuner. No more glow plug light.
I have 6 switch's, time to start trying, thanks for the tip.This is a another way to deal with that pesky pin #7. Works on flasher units as seen in post 52, and ic board configs seen in post 65. The unit that is part of the hazard switch in the center of the dash.
Likely easy to re-solder if you want to go back to regular bulbs. Flashing is a little faster then stock but way slower then the problem. Took ten minutes to do this mod, including removal time.
My car is a North American 2005 TDI Mk4. Not sure if the flasher are all the same in the same year though.
Cut the trace on the opposite side of the ic board. Pin #7 goes through beneath the IC chip, and to the small Relay. See pic for details. the IC chip is on the bottom side of the board in this pic.
