I'm not sure if anyone can help me with this, but I'm trying to fix this old relay since the capacitor blew. The capacitor has no markings on it besides the company name. The only info I have is on the relay but I'm not sure what it means entirely. Could anybody tell me what type of capacitor it needs and what all the info represents? 17381786493862391777243963328283.jpg17381787570603969411138446280824.jpg

MITSUBA FR-2112 6.4V 85 C/M 17WX2 17W For Honda Turn Signal Relay
There should be more writing on the capacitor. I know Nippon Chemicon well. I am looking for something like 100uF 6.3V.
I think replacement turn signal relays are in the marker place.

Oh I see. Everything also on it is fine and I'd hate to through it away. I'm a bit of a hoarder :). So should I get a 6.3v 100uF?

If I had the blinker here, I have a large stock of capacitors. I would just try a 16V capacitor of about the same size and see how fast the blinker blinked. If the speed is off, then change the value until I am happy.

I don't find X-C series of caps in the catalog. Your part is probably very old.
Capacitors should have numbers like this. SMH is the type. 35Volts and 10,000uF. From this picture!
