Hazard Flashers alternate wiring
I want to use a lighted rocker switch for my hazard lights but I am not certain how to wire everthing up. I am using a painless wiring harness and to wire up the Flasher you are instructed to connect the brown B+ wire to your righ turn signals and your purple B+ wire to your left turn signals on opposite post of your toggle switch. IF I use the lighted rocker switch I have three posts and they are labled:
top post .... Ground center post..Power/Load bottom post..Accessory the diagram shows the open circuit between the "Accessory and the Power". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...and if I can't use this type of switch that's OK too! Clois |
Clois,
Could you e-mail me a picture of that switch's diagram? I am sure the ground is for the light part of the switch but would like to see the diagram. From what you are saying I don't think you can have your flashers on it if you just have one terminal that connects to the hot center one when you flip the switch. However if I am reading your question correctly, it could be done using the switch to operate a relay which you could mount anywhere that is easy to get to. When I had my Cobra, I had four leads for the flashers, two for the front and two for the rear and a separate flasher unit for the hazard lights to make them all flash at the same time. My 69 Cobra has two flasher units in it and it came from the factory that way. One does the regular turn signals and the other is the hazard one. Ron :) |
Mine also has two flashers (1 for the turn signals and 1 for the hazard lights) on it but Painless apparently has pigtailed the four wires into just two.

That is ok as it just makes two less wires to mess with. Then just tie the two wires on the output terminal where the flasher can interrupt the voltage. Let me know how it turns out.
Ron :) |
Will do! Thanks Ron.
