How To Wire a Turn Signal Flasher Relay Directional Blinker on a Car / Truck / ATV / Motorcycle
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video, I show you how I would wire an automotive flasher relay, (which is also called a turn signal, directional, and blinker circuit) for a car, truck, motorcycle, ATV, dirt bike, side by side, go cart, or whatever kind of vehicle needs a left and right turn signal. There are many ways to wire automotive style turn signals, but I prefer to wire them using two relays, because I feel like it is a safest method of wiring the signal lights. Below is a list of the relays, the turn signal flasher, fuses, the 1157 bulbs and sockets, and the 3 way toggle switch I used to make the entire circuit work properly.
Items used in the signal light wiring diagram (You may not need to buy in these quantities, but I did.)

I'm working on a pocket bike and unfortunately the wiring that came on it was taken apart now I'm trying to wire up headlights blinkers and parking lights can you help me
So I have a 86 montecarlo ls I have a problem with my lights I have high beams on my left side no lows and no power on the right side on the rear I have power on the right side but no power on the left side any ideas how to fix tha because I'm seriously thinking on Goin the way u have this set up
I have a 95 escort. My flasher button broke off, trying to set up away so I can use my flasher incase of an emergency.
for the hazard button you just link the 2 white together and the red and boom hazard light ???
I liked and subscribed
Congratulations, you explain things better that my electronic teachers back at school, u da man!!!
Haha! Thank you! I’m always happy to share what I know!
Four way stitch that feeds both whites.
I have an imported truck that zero information is available to me. Your EXCELLENT explanation will give it direction signals ….again
Excellent! Thank you for watching!
Bro same here.got 96 hijet pickup with no schematic or electrical diagram. Wasn’t feeling confident replacing my headlights since the polarity is swapped and having to splice in the turn signals and DRL. But after watching this I’m solid!
It's missing the 2 diodes and Hazzard switch
@@dodgeme1986truck ?
@@cactuarizard on most vehicles (atv utv also) a Hazzard switch is also required (flashes all 4)
You explain things very well... no extra comments showing how smart you are, thus causing confusion to newbies.
You, my friend, are a life saver
I've been trying to get my blinkers on my bike for a few days. I came across this video and followed the diagram and had them done with in a hour
2000 ktm 300exc no battery and no ingnition switch
Heck yes! That’s awesome! Congrats on doing it yourself, and thank you for sharing your win with me! It’s stuff like this that makes these videos totally worth it!
Great instructional. Simple, straightforward and easy to understand. THANK YOU!
Thanks for watching! You’re awesome!
Thank you for explaining everything so well in your videos After watching this video earlier today I got my taillights all working again.
That is absolutely fantastic! I’m glad the videos helped you out! I appreciate you watching ❤
This video has help me out immensely I’ve racked my brain for quite a bit how I could do this for my motorized bicycle to get it to be street legal and you’ve done it so clearly I just want to say thank you for the educational stuff you do
That’s extremely kind! Thank you for watching and good luck on your motorized bicycle!
How would you add the hazards though? Like, getting all of them to blink at the same time.
Edited: I made this hazard light video! th-cam.com/video/lnhMx-fnUmI/w-d-xo.html
yes please that would be helpful
He said that. Link the white wire of the lamps in a different circuit
I did it by using a second three position switch, on/off/Turn Signal Enable
Then linked the enable to the input of the second three position switch. I then linked all four of the lights to the on position of the first switch with a flasher
Basically the first switch you can enable the hazard lights or enable the turn signal, the second then just is the turn signal control. It is how I did it because I didn't mind a second switch
Been working on cars for 22 years and learned something new tonight.
Dang! That’s awesome! Thanks for the kind words!
@@WiringRescue thank you for making informational vids like this ! I’m about to wire up my car and it comes in handy
aside from figuring out the pins on my OE blinker switch this video made wiring in blinker s on my track car SUPER easy. thank you!
Thanks for the help. Your wiring got the tail lights working on my 1929 hot rod
That’s fantastic! I’m thrilled that my video was able to help you out!
I just wired my break lights on my 86 mustang. I used a Earls inline pressure switch through a fused relay. Simple! You just saved me some time on the turn signals. Thanks!
That’s fantastic. Thank you for watching!
@@WiringRescue are you using 30 amp relay and fuses?
I was talking about my break lights. I accidentally replied on the wrong video. I completely gutted my 86 mustang factory wiring harnesses and went with the ARC 12 circuit relay kit. I used this circuit for my turn signals. Works great.
Thank you for making it straight forward and simple good job.
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it!
Excellent tutorial you exceed the abilities of most teachers, if only there were more like you.
Wow! Thank you! I appreciate that!
Great video!! Saved me loads of frustrations and also found out I had a bad relay and bulb socket. Thanks for sharing this info.
Great video, thank you for the insight. You make things much easier for a lot of hobbyists. Hat off to you
Thank you much! Just trying to help out my fellow car enthusiasts!
Thank you very much. Ive got a quite rare bike. Its a Tomos at50 they made like 2000 of them. The original wire harness worked great except the turn signals. After replacing countless wires and using different relay's I still could not get it to work. I am not good with wiring so I thought wiring turn signals would be awful. But with your help I managed to get it done in like 2 hours. Everything works great even used the original ground wires from the harness so its quite clean. Thank you again!
That’s excellent! I’m glad the video was able to help you out! Thanks for watching!
Very solid. I hope to add a 3rd signal to each side of my big van. This will be very helpful! 👍🏼👍🏼
I’m glad it was helpful!
Exceptionally helpful and well done presentation. Thanks.
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words.
Working on rewiring a 1999 Sportster I got. The wiring in it was completely frayed on one side. Thanks so much!
That’s awesome! I have a bunch of videos on this stuff. Find the one that works best for you!
Side note I love your videos they are super helpful, thanks a ton !
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Thats a fantastic demonstration! Thats exacly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m glad that you like it. Thanks for watching!
Looks like my E39 Bmw will be back on the road lol. Bet you explain better than teachers!
Lol! Thank you! I appreciate it!
Best demonstration on how to wire up indicators TH-cam 👍
This is how people are able to learn. Visual displays of the circuit schematic. TY sir.
I agree. This is how I would have preferred to be taught! Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial. Thanks for the upload! I love the backing board for the circuit visual.
Excellent! I'm glad you like it. If you haven't checked out my other wiring videos, please do! They are done in a similar way!
Drive Away Drivers needs to see this !
Good description, very helpful for understanding how flashers work.
Thank you! I’m happy to know that people find it useful!
You video really took the guesswork out of it
Thanks for explaining it the way you did
There are many ways to wire a turn signal - check out my other methods too - they may be better for your application. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done , Thanks ! I loved the display board
Glad you liked it!
Thank You sir for your great simple explanation. Much appreciated 🤠
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to watch it!
Thanks for the information I'll try it on my old English car to try and get the semaphore working with the much later turn lights.
Exactly the guidelines I needed to do this on a golf cart.
Thanks
Awesome! I’m glad you find it helpful!
I am currently re wiring a rolls royce. I will be using your useful video. Thanks for posting!
Oh my gosh. If you haven’t checked out this one th-cam.com/video/Io_i9016o10/w-d-xo.html you should. I personally think it’s better, but it depends on your goals.
Absolutely perfect video! Thanks
Awesome thanks for the video! I have a roxor utv and getting it road legal. $15 instead of a $500 wiring hardness? Way better! Although I may need to buy another $10 in wire lol! Best video to make own turn signals!
Well done! You are a gifted teacher.
Thank you so much! That’s extremely kind!
Awesome way to retrofit vintage cars
We did this in high school science. Still super cool
School would have been way better if I learned this. Instead of learning useful things in life, I was told I had to play the recorder, and learn about amoebas.
This video is making my dream of driving my truck legally because this is helping me find the things I need and the things the know how to make it work
Heck yes! Don’t get it right, just get it working!
Thank you. You made that very easy to understand.
Thank you very much for the video, I have a 1973 datsun and I've installed led headlights with yellow halos which I use for turning signals and my turn signals switch kept getting smoked and stopped working because of the high current drawn so with this system problem solved, very thankful for this video and new subscriber with thumbs up 👍,have a blessed day
You need to add in an LED resistor to each turn signal, that's your issue.
thank you i can now make my dream a reality of installing indicators on my cat!!!
If cats are anything like bmw drivers, they won’t be using their turn signals.
Wow. Very well explained in detail. Thank you.
THANK YOU! I was sitting here crying my head off not knowing what to do about the lights (specifically the blinkers), in my mgb. My husband helped me put a new motor in it, but as soon as the wiring thing started he said "nope". I haven't driven the car in 3 years and the motor was in and ready a month ago, it's just been this wiring mess. Thanks to you and this video I'm going to get to drive my car, hoping, later today. Off to get this done. Thanks again :)
That’s wonderful! Let me know if you have any questions. MGB wiring is British witchcraft so it will be 100% different than what you see here! Oh - and if this method isn’t quite what you’re after, I have a few videos showing different methods of wiring turn signals. Find the method that suits your needs best and post up any questions you may have along the way.
I’ll be hoping to hear that you drive your car later today!
@@WiringRescue no drive yesterday. I watched a couple of your other videos, and have decided to follow the one that you do that does all the lighting. Can I just do an independent of the current wiring harness. What happen with his car is two years ago the motor blew up, so we put a Camaro motor in it :-). Kind of makes some wiring a little difficult. But your videos of solve the problem for me thank you. I'll let you know how it goes
@@kristinemacdougall - sorry to hear there was no drive! Hopefully soon! You can absolutely have an independent wiring system for the lights. If you haven’t already watched it, I also have a video on fuse and wire sizing that is important info to know.
@@kristinemacdougall - here you go! Let me know if you have any questions throughout the process! th-cam.com/video/EhzN6UdnmPA/w-d-xo.html
@@WiringRescue awesome! thank you.
Bro your videos are amazing im learning to re wire my motorbike with no knowledge at all and this has helped 🙌 👌
Glad the videos helped you out!
copied this and really saved me some money time and effort thanks so much from New Mexico!~
Great video! Need to rewire my old Land Crusier HJ45 and this is a great help!
Great video. I wired my signals just as you have shown. Turns out I'm an idiot and tried to set up my LED signals like this lol took me a while to figure out where I went wrong. Found your LED video and ordered the correct flasher. Lol I have some wiring to redo..
Man you are the man that was so easy to follow
Great channel! The best video on the subject I have seen on youtube. Thank you for post and congrats.
I’m glad that you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Very good instructional Video young Man.
Wired a bmw k75 today with this diagram thanks 👍
That is fantastic! I’m really happy to hear it helped you out!
Great content!!!!
Thank you so much. I made the turning signals on an e-bike happen.
Heck yes! I’m excited to hear it!
OMG, THANK YOU! I'm building an ebike rn, and I was about to try to do this with an Arduino and relays or with a 555 timer or something. This is way easier.
I’m thrilled that you find it helpful! Thanks for watching!
Such a helpful video brotha A+
Thank you!!
great video. great explaniation
Great way to explain and make that system be not so intimidating.
Good Video very clear explanation
Thank You
Been trying to fix a 71 volvo turn signal to get it back on the street legally. This really helps me understand what's going on, and maybe I'll go this route instead of trying to find a rare oem switch.
It’s a very simple way to make it work, and extremely easy to diagnose if it ever fails. These parts are also available at every part store across the country, and dirt cheap. That’s a win! Good luck with the build!
This is a great video. Thank you. Show more like this.
Thank you! I’ve got a whole bunch and I’m always making more! Check out my wiring video playlist!
Very helpful! Thank you

Any update on the 4 way flashers???
Thanks for posting this video I'm trying to learn how to do this set up it's really cool that you made this video
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching them!
Excuse me Brother does this set up work for front turn signal light bulbs for a 2000 Chrysler neon ?
You so awesome thank you so much my buddy 125 don’t have bunking no more! Helps a lot
Glad you found the video helpful!
Thanks man this helped me and my dad restome out truck,Thanks for the help!
That’s fantastic! I’m glad it was able to help you out!
Very good explanation 👍
This is great🙌
How do I wire it for running and brake lights with directionals ?
Que increible circuito y muy instructivo . You are amaizing
Thank you!
This was such a help! Easily explained, simple to follow! Thanks!
Excellent! Thank you for watching!
Excellent! Thanks!
Thank YOU for watching! :)
Thanks for all your videos they are extremely helpful, especially this one as I’m currently trying to replace all my bulbs with LED’s on my Grand Wagoneer jeep.
What I found is an LED flasher with a ground flashes faster than one without the problem I’m having is that even though I replaced my flashers the rear 1156 led bulbs for running lights at night will not work. The led 1157 for brakes work fine and so do the 1156 for backup lights and turn signals but not the side marker lights. I’ve checked the grounds and they all seem to work. It would be great to see a video on how 1156 and 1157 led bulb works different and the difference between a grounded led flasher and a non one with turn signals, brakes, backup lights and side marker lights - thanks 👍🏼
I wired my hot rod using your diagram it worked super thanks but I need to add a light inside so remember to turn off turning signal
Very good video 👍
Thank you for very informative video and your generous contribution to public knowledge base. My comment would be to request a companion wiring schematic drawing to further clarify.
That would definitely be a nice addition. I’ll look into that.
this video saved my life
Lol! I have no idea how that’s possible, but I’m very happy you are alive. This world would not be the same without you. Thanks for watching!
excellent video
Great video
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I am not doing the exact application but this helped me get a basic idea how the signal system works. I am installing aftermarket additional brake light (with sequential turn signal and strobe brake light) and running light/turn signal for my motorcycle.
Would I need to add fused to the cables I connect to the existing set up?
That's one big - ass watch you have yourself there mister !...
I like my watches like I like my coffee - Extra large. Seriously though, it’s the cheapest Apple Watch with a massive protective watch band because I destroy everything I touch. The first day I wore it I put a giant scratch across the face, wearing it working on cars like a dummy. I then found the cheapest + most protective case I could find online and hit “buy it now”. Here I am 1 year later and I haven’t broke it yet!
Thank you I was able to wire up my sxs
Excellent! I’m glad you found it useful!
Great info. I am rewiring my tractor with this.
Heck yeah! I dream of owning a tractor! Someday!
About to buy everything I need to do this on my sortof-street legal mud toy I'm building (missing all stock lights) Just need something to get me to and from the trails. Thanks man. I've been fighting with the stock wiring all day but I'm just gonna do this.
Awesome! Check out my other turn signal videos too. I have about 3 different methods of doing this. One method doesn’t need relays, but needs LED bulbs. Another method has a cool switch that also has some other cool features. Check out the link in the top pinned comment above, and you’ll see them all there.
I bought everything in this video not realizing that I need something to put the fuses in. I don't know what they are called lolol 😂 i rewatched the video but I don't believe you mentioned what the fuses go into. I bought the 272 piece fuse package but they are all just different fuses only. Thanks a lot for this informative video.👍
Haha - sorry about that - you will want “fuse holders”. Here is a link to the ones I used, but there are many options. Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!

Answer to my prayers ! I’m gonna use this on my 1966 Honda C100. Great videos to help with college too! Might you have any knowledge on hooking up engine stators to batteries etc that’d be cool too! Thanks man!
Thanks for watching! I’ll add a starter circuit to my to do list!
Amazing explanation!
Could you record a video about more complicated schemes?
Oh yes, I’ll keep making videos if you keep watching!
Nicely explained... thx
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Man you keep making a video like this you definitely got me to subscribe. I had an idea on how to do it but I knew there were small things that I was missing and this pretty much topped it off for me. This video is 150% understandable this is like breaking it down for dummies. Definitely is going to help me out because I do not want to pay to run new headlights, blinkers, brake lights,ect. Another idea you may be able to mention is how to run new headlights with high beams I think that would be an interesting topic and maybe throwing the brake lights in there with it to where they have the standard brake lights without you pressing on it then you know they get brighter whenever you hit the brakes just a thought would be video to watch.
I like this idea. I'll add it to my video to-do list!
Nice work thank you very much
Thanks! Thank you for watching the video!
hey thank you.very good video.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate you!
