The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay Taillight, brake, turn signal wiring

Ok. Worked on this a bit today. I did as suggested:

1. Ground the signal switch: fixed the problem with the indicator light on the switch itself.
2. When you say 'just tie them to the brake lights'....What I took this as to do was to put a jumper wire from the turn signal wire to the stop light wire on both sides. This did not fix the problem. Instead I had a variation of all three bulbs on each side illuminating.

So, still when I switch on the ignition key switch, the flashers immediately start flashing, except it alternates between STOP and RUNNING on the rear. If I pull out the plunger switch to activate the flashers, it operates normally. Placing the turn signal lever in the cab to turn left or right, it stops the flashers, but does nothing else......UNLESS, I turn on the headlights with the right turn signal ON, THEN the front right signal flashes, but not the rear.....

I'm at a loss.
