Anybody out there have some good wiring instructions that I would be able to get a copy of as a reference. While I'm pretty sure I could figure this one out if I thought about it hard enough; I'm reluctant to think that hard if someone already has it written down somewhere.
If you do, I promise that I will take a ton of photos and publish a page documenting the job for everybody in the future not wanting to think that hard as well.

There is also a good article by Cletis in the Tech-Tip section. Good luck. http://www.film.queensu.ca/CJ3B/Tech/SignalWiring.htmlStuart | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 | simply power from battery to a fused source. fused source to flasher unit. flasher unit to ''IN'' of a turn signal unit. out of the turn signal unit to L/R/F/B. yes there is lots more about flasher units. some have a 4 way 'emer' switch. some 4 ways don't need to be on the 'IGN' side of a circuit. i think stu's diagram covers it in more detail. you can wire up turn cab indicator lamps @ the 'out-put wire. NOTE:: if you use LED's they need to have some resistance to them. It drove me crazy for about 30 minutes because i did not have me front lamps connected when testing me system. that's where i have me ''regular'' incandescent bulbs that create the resistance i needed to make the flasher unit work.

There are several different types of after market units. The one that I rebuilt is not a self canceling unit. It has two small pilot lights on the switch unit that flash with the turn signals to let you know the turn signals are on and also to let you know that the main lamps are not burned out. If yours is like this I have a rough diagram of how it is wired.
