SignalStat 900 photos

Another thing to do is to add a buzzer to the flasher. Radio Shack sells a "pezio" buzzer that is small and will work with 6 volts. I put on on each of my cars because I don't want to be that old man with his blinker on.

The Signal Stat 900 that I got from Sacramento Vintage has worked just like it should for the last 3 years since I put it in. I now have LED lights on the rear, didn't have to change anything with the flasher.

I know this is an old link, but that's ok.

Does anyone have directions for the signalstat installation using the cowl lamps as the front directionals and the original rear lights as rear directionals?

Also, where are you guys adding an extra ground wire to? I would hate to scrape away paint on the steering column.

I don't know if I have directions any more, but, wiring the cowls or rears is no different than wiring other lights.

I run the unit ground thru the loom [ old type woven] down the column along with the rest of the wires to any good ground.

If you have issues with flashing I find a NOS or good working 535 works just fine. New flashers are pure junk.

Here a copy of the wiring. I am unable to upload the installation instructions. Send me a PM with your email address and I will try to send it that way. Supergnat

I got it working, but the indicator lights failed on my last short drive out. I checked that the fuse was OK and 6v was getting to the unit. Then I took the unit off and dismantled it. Of course it would be easier to check the indicator bulbs first! When I eventually got round to that - all 4 bulbs were blown (6v / 5 W). Not sure why but I had one or two accidental 'shorts' when repairing my starter motor.

Anyhow, I took a few pictures of the dismantled Signalstat. It was quite heavily greased inside which I thought might lead to internal shorts so I wiped most of the grease out. I figured out that the hazard pull-out switch did work - it needs to be pulled out VERY firmly to click in place.

Despite trying several flasher units, none allow the indicator stalk light to repeat and it only 'clicks' once. The front and rear indicators work OK. On Hazard - every thing works normally, indicator stalk light and clicker. I assume 2 bulbs to left or right do not offer enough resistance load for the flasher unit.

From my internal exam - I would judge it very difficult for these units to fail internally. Can anyone roughly date it - ? 60's, 70's or maybe earlier?

Richard if you can e-mail me at [email protected] I have some information and trouble shooting for the 900 made by Truck-Lite.
I can't get it to download on the Ford Barn Site.
I have the same unit on my car

I tried the 550 flasher in my 900 but the pilot bulb does not work on the control head, all other functions work fine. Bulb is good, ground is good and wire is good from "P" on flasher to pilot bulb in control head, Truck-Light says it's the flasher and to try the 263

Just got back from the NAPA store and installed my EL-13 Flasher, my pilot light on the steering column control head and all other turn signal, 4-ways and brake lights work!
WA-WHOOOO It feels so good when it all comes together....LOL

Patrick, yes it is, I just completed the 6 to 12v swap and added AC!
I was out a couple of days ago for a 117 mile AIR CONDITIONED tour in this 90 deg. heat and the interior of my Fordor was in the 70's! My Wife has never been so happy to tour in the A. Me too as I do not do well in the heat. Not for everyone but if you have ever considered it, do it. Easy job, Ken Davis kit. Did it all myself with my Grandson's help.

OK, good. I'm glad to see the flasher worked. I didn't think it was for 6v though. Just didn't want anyone thinking it was is all.
