Now I'm getting a real headache. But you do point out an issue with what I did. I'll get to that in a minute.

The front and rear lights (or relay in the case of my diagram) come from the same wire from the switch in a 4 wire switch. The 4 wires are: Power from the flasher, Indicator light from the flasher, Left front and rear bulbs, and Right front and rear bulbs. No relays are needed for the front bulbs. Just come right off the turn signal switch wire. But to do that you need to keep the flasher upstream of the switch.

Let me cogitate a bit on your diagram and see if I can simplify it (remove the two unnecessary relays.) Yes, the flasher would activate the relays. Nothing wrong with that.

I could not get your original configuration to work correctly with the flasher upstream of the turn signal switch. But you are correct in that I need a connection to power the rear bulb when the brake pedal switch is not applied. I'll need to send something else to John for his to work.

[on edit} OK. I'll concede that your 4 relay setup works, I still think that I can get what I sent to John to work with a bit of modification. I need to work on that. There has to be a more elegant way.
