Ck on the A forum and do a search, someone has posted wiring dia for 3 or 4 diff sw's. This info may/may not help you. Are your wires color coded in any way??

I remember those to be red hot, black ground and the others go to the four lights. Try a bench test.

OK I got them working and I am posting it so it may help some one else.

Black.................Flasher
Red.......................Left
Brown or Grey.........Left
Blue.....................Right
Green...................Right
Yellow...Stop light switch

From what I have found out it is a Auto Lamp, model? On my application it did not matter which wire went to front or back as long as it was on the same side. Since I am running 1950 Buick taillights with two seperate bulbs I did not need the brake switch wire. You will need to ground the case to get the indicator light to work.

That is a very cool piece. I have a few old ones restored, use a Sears Allstate right now. Saw one of the 20 dollar popular catalogue paers sold now, just doesn't fit.
