Turn signal diagram

[Divco one]

6 volt positive ground.
I have:
Single throw double throw on-off-on toggle switch
Double filament 6 volt cowl lights
Led lights for rear bumper
6 volt flasher marked P, L and X

Can somebody help me with a wiring diagram.

[Mike V. Florida]

I don't know if this will help. Just don't wire what you don't want.



I think this goes along with it;

Here's the basic schematic for the 3 prong flasher.

Thanks

Divco one , I used the diagram Mike V. Florida shows last year , using the same style switch , and worked great . Good Luck

The rear LED lights may require a load resistor to work correctly.

There are two problems with this type of signal setup:

1) There is no interruption or flashing of the brake filament if you are 'on the brake'. What is seen and perceived visually from the rear, at a distance, is a 75% weaker signal. It may look OK in the garage, but what is seen outside in daylight traffic is altogether different. That is why 7 (or 8) wire switches that incorporate the brake signal separately to LR and RR are used. DOT recognizes this and new vehicles must have interruption of the brake light with a signal.

2) The three-circuit tail lamp bucket conversion you need to do to use both an 1157 and 1156 bulb (or their 6V equiv.) will leave you with some challenges, including which section of the lens (upper/lower) will do what?

I'll stick with my Signal Stat 900. I don't want to get rear-ended 'cause somebody didn't clearly recognize my turn signal while I was on the brake. Their tiny, smart-phone distracted brains have been trained to respond only to DOT compliant signal formats!

Does the Signal Stat 900 work with 6 volt??

[Willie Krash]

I would add 4 way to it. The way most people do it is to go to the three way switch and go to one outside pole (on) thru' a simple on/off switch to the other outside pole.
It works but you have to have a blinker on, then throw the on/off switch.
Personally I'd use a DPST and wire the input together; the input being from the flasher.

Echo Mike's remark. Signal Stat 900 (wired for the Model A by Sac Vintage) works for me.

Jim -- Yes, the only difference is the flasher and the pilot bulb need to be whatever voltage you want. Easy swap if you happen to have the wrong voltage.

I have the LED lights for the tail lights and would like to add turn signal, I was told by Mikes than a resistor will have to be used. Where can I get them and how is it wired? Can it be used with cowl lights original bulbs?...thanks

I have the 2-filament bulbs in the cowl lights with LED tail lights on the rear. I have not used a resistor and everything works just fine.

I actually bought an electronic flasher when I got the LED tail lights, and it worked fine until I started the engine. Then it quit. Turn the engine off and worked just fine. Solution was to put the original flasher back in and everything was back to normal. Again, no resistor.

[Tom Wesenberg]

My electronic flasher will work with LED bulbs and no reisistor.

[Jim M]

Tom, What flasher are you using?

[CarlG]

I actually think I had something amiss when my electronic flasher wouldn't work. I intend on chasing that down one of these days. It makes a loud enough "click" that I can hear it whereas the analog one does not.

Here is the spec sheet on the one I have:

[Divco one]

With 6 volt cowl bulbs and 6 volt LEDs mounted on the rear bumper, a regular 6 volt flasher volt works perfectly. I'm going to add a buzzer so I know when they are on.

I'd have to find it or a picture of it again, but I seem to recall EF-32 might be the number. A search on this site for "electronic flasher" might bring up my post with a picture of it.
