Default Re: Adding turn signals to my A. I need help!

I am using a signal stat unit that I purchased used, several years ago.
It has separate wires to the front turn signal lights. They work fine.
It has a separate wire that was labeled 'right rear'. It works fine.

There are 2 other wires labeled as going to the stop light.

My turn signal lights are separate lights with single bulbs. They are not part of a dual brake light bulb.

I figured that I could splice into the front left wiring and connect it to the left rear turn signal. But it is not working.

Y-blockhead do you know if Al's garage is meeting this Saturday morning?

Yes we are, I usually get there at ~9:30am. I already talked to our Tech Director. He said bring it on by.

That is the way mine are set up too. Very simple system.

That is the same as I have installed, almost fool proof, although it has been said that some fools are some what smart at times! . It is one of the least expensive, and probably reliable.
