I have installed Chevy Duty's wiring harness and turnsignal switch, in my 51 GMC 1/2 ton.

The front turnsignals work fine (but) I can either have turnsignals or brakelights on the rear, not both. I choose brakelights.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Is the wire from the brake switch going into your signal unit?

Sorry I didn't get back earlier, my computer at home got the new sasser virus.
I beleive I connected it at one time. But now I just have the brake lights connected to the brakelight switch.

I installed what is probably the same signal switch last year. It took a little fooling around, but in the end I just followed the wiring diagram included with the switch and everything works perfect.

I do know that the signal light switch gets wired into the brake light switch.

I hope this helps

I just printed the wiring diagram from "headlight wire colors" on this forum. That is so clear that even I can follow it and it is in color too.

The wiring diagram that came with the turnsignal switch was not clear to me. It said things like (cut & tape brown wire' etc.) cut & tape it to what? Any way we'll see how the color wiring diagram works out.

Jerry - "cut and tape" means to cut the end off the wire and put a piece of tape over that end to prevent it from shorting out to anything and keep it outta the way cuz it ain't needed - some harnesses will have extra wires for other applications
