Ok, so I’ve got most of this figured out, but would like to confirm.

1) The red wire that is fused from the flasher (first pic), goes to the lower RH terminal on the headlight switch (second pic), correct? I’ve seen other diagrams that appear to connect this wire to the negative ignition switch (third pic) or negative ammeter?
2) The other red wire is shown going to the negative side of the stop light switch (first pic). Is there any easier place somewhere behind the dash to connect this wire?

Thx,
Derek

Derek, Yes you can use those terminals on the headlight switch to supply power to the signal switch. Mine is wired exactly that way and works perfectly.

The existing stop light switch is getting it’s power from the headlight switch. You’ll need to disconnect that wire and splice it to the red wire on the switch.

Thx Phil, so the fused red wire to any of the terminals along the back edge of the headlight switch and the other red (non-fused) wire to the stop terminal on the headlight switch? Correct?

No, remove the original wire from the switch first then splice it to the non fused red wire going to the switch.
