I have a Yankee 960 4 wire turn signal set up and I want to hook it back up. What type of flasher do I need and how do I test the system before hooking it up? Thanks! It's still a 6 volt neg ground .

Charlie's/Cletis's Tech Tip might help?

I would guess a 4 wire would be one wire for flasher input, one for pilot light, one for both left lights and one for both right lights. If so it needs a 3 prong flasher it you want the pilot light to work.

This tech tip tells how to determine what wire is what.

That is a good looking Art Deco switch. 4 wire switch works with separate turn signal lights. More wires on the integrated brake/turn signal system. The switch is pretty enough to possibly add the extra lights in the back.

Its in almost pristine condition. My goal is to put new turn signals on the fenders in the front. I want to test the whole system before installing. I think I have the wrong flasher. I need to make sure it works before install.

JS,

Very good idea - bench testing the wiring/components.

Good luck - please report back with results of both the test and the installation.
