Nothing working at all? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 126 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 126 | I have power coming from the brake switch when brakes are pressed. I imagine the red wire, going into the switch, is the power that feeds everything. What I need to know is which wire is the left/right turn signal and which is the brake lights. By which wires, I mean on the switch itself. I have 6 colors: orange, red, green, black, yellow, and brown. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 126 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 126 | Just a thought right now, ill hook up the red wire and see what gets power when I change the blinkers and brakes... nvm yall... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | soldering on that switch looks suspect, possible cold joints .... compare that generic wiring diagram with the info in the tech tipBill | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 126 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 126 | I got it working.
The right blinker is blinking slower and dimmer than the left side. Any suggestions? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 775 | I bought a flasher from one of the old chevy parts dealers. I figured out after the second one they were junk. Paid about 8.00. Then bought a borg warner for 20.00 and they work great. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | Blinking slower, dimmer? Ground or hot contact corroded/loose somewhere. Could be problem inside the switch.

If those check out then look at the light bulbs and make sure they match what is in the working side. A low watt bulb will draw less current than a higher watt bulb and the flasher is current sensitive. A single low watt bulb will dim and slow the lights on one side. Let us know what you find.
