    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.

Unpotting a TSCU

Jim, I'll take a picture of thread TSCU later on tonight.

And they are still available new from Suzuki
 
Which part exactly is this? Do you have a picture? How many pins?

It's called a 1st Generation Turn Signal Control Unit (TSCU) two leads, two plugs, a 6 & 4 pin I do believe.
The picture here shows one with the cover removed exposing the circuit card and the colored epoxy used as potting starts just on the other side,
just below the area you can't see. I just read my note on the tape and started laughing, if you can read it good, otherwise it says "Kinda Works, Kinda Doesn't" and so it is the case with these damn things. Dale, you should be getting that Kinda, Sorta, Definite Maybe working TSCU in the mail soon.

Jim, It it the Turn Signal Control Unit.

Here is a flock of them...

Operation...

The left hand control (turn signal switch) consists of three momentary contact switches. One for left and one for the right turn and the third for manual cancel.

Pushing the turn indicator lever to either the left or right, latches the TSCU in it's respective turn mode which allows the current to flow out of the turn signal flasher (a simple bi-metallic flasher) through the the left or right TSCU's internal relays. The flashing (self cancel) will shut off the flashing when one of two conditions are met. The first is when the vehicles speed is above XX miles per hour, as sensed by the reed switch in the speedometer, AND XX seconds have passed. The second is when the operator manually cancels the unit by pushing the turn switch downward.

Pins...
I'll have to count them when I get home tonight.


Ah shucks, I just taped and addressed to you Dale the "flock of them" as the same in the picture, with the exception of one I gave Chuck and the "serviceable" one I already sent to you. I could've, should've counted the pins in each plug.
