Turn signal control unit

[Guest]

I got them working! Turned out the flasher was bad. Even though it had continuity and I could hear it click it wasn't doing the job. Switched it out with a buddy's 2 prong flasher and it worked perfectly.

No auto cancel as expected but I do have hazard lights now. As long as I don't cancel inbetween switching from left to right they'll both flash.

I'll try to post some pictures of what I made to hopefully help people who have as much trouble reading a schematic as I do.

Please do post some pictures, for posterity and the community here.

I'm also curious about the hazards. There have been times where I've wished I had them for a little more visibility.

If actuating both side turn signals at the same time, which is possible using this setup, the signals will flash faster because of the increased current draw of four lamps. The solution would be to replace the stock flasher with an electronic one. This would allow for LED bulbs to be used as well as the stock incandescent.

I bought a new relay and the turn signal module new for around $200 combined. That was for a 1980/1981 type. I understand that 1979 is different.

I really wanted the cancelling to work though.
