Default Re: Turn signal and tail light problem

There are a number of ways to install the Signal Stat units [ either 800 or 900].

But it would seems that you would want to have running lights just as running lights and the turn and stop lights operate together as one. There should be more than one diagram with the unit. I installed an old 900 unit in the A years ago and just tested each wire and sent it where it needed to go. There is no need to add extra lights unless thats what you want to do.
In the old days it was common to have to install these units, maybe the newer ones have changed, I don't know. There are not hard to put in and get working.

'30 coup--- that is the same diagram I used, except I used front bumper lights instead of cowl lights. I wonder if I should disconnect the cowl/park position on the light switch? What is it for?

Also, where is this wire I should cut?

I cut the little red wire inside the light that links the upper sector to the lower sector and the two sectors operate separately. Then I rearranged the wires (black and green) coming out the back of the lights so I have lower sectors on for running lights and license light and upper sectors for turn signal and braking. Everything works great now. Thanks everyone
