    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

so I am starting to wonder how hard would it be to swap the wiring around on the turn signal generator so that instead of blinking them on only when I'm turning and leaving them off, it blinks them off when I'm turning and leaves them on constantly?? would this put too much drain on the R/R? anybody done it?

I talked to one fellow who said just get the two wire bulb, but I have only the single setup and don't really want to rewire the whole darn thing, but if I could just cross a couple wires, why not!! (because it may burn out the rest of my components, but that's why I'm asking first!!)

Thanks in advance, and welcome back!!! :D
 
D'oh!! thanks man!

so you say two, one for each side, meaning it goes one for each signal stalk? sorry to be dense here, but I'm a chemist, not an electrical engineer... :oops: do I need to add a power in for that as well? using the brown aux wire perhaps?

thanks for the help, how's the new digs??
 
Yep, one for each side. Basically, you take the wire currently going to the lamp and connect it to terminal 85, that's now the trigger. Run a wire from 86 to ground, that completes the circuit for the trigger. Run a fused wire from a switched sourcce to terminal 30. A final wire from 87a to the lamp gets you there. 87a is normally closed, 87 is normally open. When you turn on the ignition, the front turn signal lights should come on. Operating the turn signal switch will cause the relay to switch to terminal 87 (unconnected), the front light will go off, the rear comes on, back and forth, blinkity blink.

We're moving again. Been here two months, wife's having surgery for a hernia in December, hates two story houses. Moving this weekend.
 
sweet!! that should do it! thanks for the rundown, and best of luck to your wife.
