Great information but how did you find silent flasher's? All the flasher's I've found are typically specialized relays with the circuitry to make it work.
You may have a back feed problem. If the ignition is off, the hazards are on and a turn signal is on, you might have power on your ignition circuit. This would require a diode unless your LED flasher incorporates a diode. This should have been explained.
Just a question, at the STDP switch the two red wires going thru your peg board where do they go? Great videos,using this plan to make Polaris street legal. Thanks.
@@MrGeardown - sorry I didn’t point that out in the video. The red wires on the switch don’t actually go through the board!

I am trying to improve the wiring on my karmann ghia. I get 13.5v at the battery and the generator. but in the front of the car I only get 10v. so my lights are very dim. I am going to rewire it one circuit at time using your videos. FANTAST by the way. Because I have some issues would it be dumb to not ground each circuit on the car and run a wire back to the fuse area? That way if there is an issue somewhere grounding the battery/ motor/ chassis at least my lights will be 100% when I can get higher voltage to the front of the car. (motor in the back) I really appreciate these videos.
Hi Michael! You can absolutely run ground wires all the way to a fuse panel or ground distribution block. That being said, that is how British cars were wired for about 50 years and they are well hated for overly complex wiring! If I were there helping you out, I’d make sure the chassis and engine were both grounded well from the battery, and then ground all the lights right to the chassis. You may have to clean paint/undercoating off of the chassis to get hood grounds, but it is a lot less wire to do it this way. Also - old light sockets are a common cause of problems. Don’t be afraid to buy brand new bulb sockets for your bulbs so they have a good, clean connection to the bulbs. Good luck! I’m rooting for you!
You may want to check and clean your light switches as well. Older cars tend to run full current through their switches which can cause issues. I know my mk1 Jetta has issues with low voltage high beam circuits because of the power going through the stalk instead of a relay.
Hello ! You make it looks very simple, my question is, if the hazard key is on, and I decide to activate the right or left signal switch, should it works ? Or should I desactivate the hazard switch before ?
Thank you very much for your videos. I'm a hobbyist. I've watched so many videos to learn how to wire and all left me with questions. Until I've watched yours. You have a talent for explaining how things work (even for the beginners).
hello, thanks for thé vidéo! Really helped me out! However one question: Does the hazard light switch have to be a double pole? When I try to wire my own hazard lights I lose the turn signal capacity, all four lights come on even when I flick the single pole switch to the L or R. If anyone can help, thanks in advance!
What is the function of the 2 red wires that you have going to the double pole switch? I thought that the Yellow wire was the HOT wire feeding the positve side of the switch and the white wires were the hot wires to the flashers.

Generally hazards work with the ignition switch on or off, so they need their own power source and flasher. Turn signals only work with the ignition switch turned on.

The wire and fuse sizes greatly depend on which components you are using, and what amperage draw they have. I made a video about it actually - check it out th-cam.com/video/EhzN6UdnmPA/w-d-xo.html
I appreciate that you use the term “flasher.” Even though “they” say “relay,” this just throws more confusion onto folks who ARE trying to learn about vehicle electrical systems, IMHO.

Thanks!!I've got a 65 Corvair that I just can't figure out. Gonna run the turn signals in the housing for the reverse lights. Should be pretty Sweet! Thanks for the help!!
You can: you'll need a distribution block from the hazard flasher load side splitting to both halves of the turn signal lights. Remember that some installations have a fender turn signal light as well, and most will have a dash indicator as well, so you'll need to keep that in mind when calculating your loads.
@@ramirosuarez9537 No, the flasher signal comes from the hazard flasher to the DPST switch via the yellow wire. Tha hazard flasher is directly below the DPST switch.
Great video What gauge wire did you use for this set up ? And also do you have a link to a multi color wire kit i need them long so i can wire through my car
In the Old Days, When A Bulb burned out, It stopped flashing. Like a Resetable Circuit Breaker. New Flashers(Electronic) Do a Quick Flash when a Bulb burns out.

Didn't use Relay Contacts, Just the Coil to increase the Load, Worked Good.
You don't need 2 different flashers to do this. Just look at most vehicles, they only have one flasher. As far as the hazards needing to be useable when car is off, that's just a matter of running the power through either the ignition or direct and you use a DPDT switch instead of the DPST. Add two diodes. Add four more diodes if you intend to be able to use the turn signals as brakes.

Very informative. Can you suggest LED lights & incandescent lights together & how to go about this. Reason l have both that are positioned at rear of Dodge AT4 Ute. Worx in progress. BTW we're in OZ Having difficulty finding the right combination. Please help when convenient. Cheers 👋
5:10 and what about the ignition switch? Can this handle these amps because the ignition switch triggers also other accesoiries? Lets say you have 3 LED turn signals, front/rear/side and interior LED's
Excellent explanation. I have a 2021 kawasaki ninja 400 that does not have a hazard switch, i want to install a hazard switch to this motorbike is this the best way to do it?
I'm a newbie going to attempt rewiring a Jeep YJ. What are the chances we could get a video on the proper ways to splice all these wires? The proper connectors for engine bay vs under dash? Also what belongs where?
When I put on my blinkers (left or right), my 4 ways go on because the white wires are feeding back to the single pole throw double pole switch. Do I need a diode on the white wires going back to the double pole switch so electricity only flows one way?
I did a similar wiring for my turn signals on my lawnmower. But I uses 2 single pole toggle switches. Just off and on. One for left turn, one for right turn. Turn them both on for hazards
Very good informative vid. I have watched other vids of how to wire signal/hazard lights, but did not want to use a relay. I do have a question however: on the single throw switch you routed the red wire into the hole in the board.... but it does not show where the wire comes out. This is not done with any other wire. Does this mean the red wire is not used, or is it to be taken for granted that the wire is to be hooked up to the positive side of the battery?
could you explain what you mean by wiring the turn signal positive wire to the ignition (is that just the positive side of the battery or no?) thank you I am a complete novice at this stuff.
If uhave on your hazard switch, current is flowing an u put on your turn switch an current is fiowing what will happing current is flowing both side on does bulbs
What would cause the flasher to click constantly? So everything works, flashes the way it supposed to but when I turn the switch to off the flasher(led) continues to flash without the lights flashing.

What if I already used white for parking lights and yet still wanna add brake lights to this circuit still using turn signals and keep hazard circuit as well
was looking at this so i can build one for an electric scooter & bike. Is this a bad idea? + grounding to the body of the bike & electric scooter. Thanks
Do these LED flashers draw any current when the Signals/ Hazard switches are turned off? I'm thinking of the Hazard flasher in particular ,being connected to constant 12v. Since the LED flashers aren't Load Sensing, I assume they are always On (Always flashing)? If so, any chance they pull current before the Hazard switch directs the flashing 12v signal to the Marker lights? Hope that makes sense!
No, they don't because the circuit is open, not complete. The flasher has 12V coming in, but the three-way switch is in the middle position (open), that way the circuit is incomplete and thus no current flow. Another way to see it is a bulb that is connected to battery positive but not grounded: you have no complete circuit and no current flow. Much like those horn circuits with two wires going into the horn diaphragm because unlike most other automotive components, they are ground-switched instead of battery-positive switched.
I originally subscribed to follow your progress on your 64 wagon. Disappointed that I haven't seen any videos on the wagon in quite some time. So I will be unsubscribing from your channel. ☹️
Hello! First - I’d like to apologize for the lack of Impala updates. Second, I’d like to direct you to the new channel that I just started that will be specifically for my project cars youtube.com/@projectcarrescue and you will find the new 64 Impala videos (and other car projects) there. TH-cam is a weird place. It turns out that it is better to have separate channels for different topics. So I’ve decided to separate my project cars and the wiring entirely. Thanks for sticking around. I appreciate you reaching out, and I hope I can earn your subscription on my new project car channel.
Is there a way to have the default state as always on, but then have the flasher interrupt that state? ... nevermind. Just saw your Video on 5 pin relay.. I can use 57a to keep light on & 57 wired to a flasher & to the same bulb.
Thank goodness I found your videos! Keep up the great work! Question just so my brain can rest: for the hazard lights side, are the pins on the right side of the switch jumped to each other? At first, I thought the red wires were going through a hole in your peg board. LOL!
The pins are jumped. :) Somewhere in these comments I posted pictures of it too. Dig around these comments to see. No wires go through the board. Thanks so much for watching!
Could you do a video like this one showing how to do this setup with headlights taillights and brake lights I am building a motorized bike but can't find a good video showing how to do all the light wiring
Isn't the flasher running non stop do to having constant power? How long will a flasher last running constantly? So as long as your key is on your flasher is getting power and flashing? So if I drive to Florida nonstop which I have done, the flasher is clicking away for 16hrs strait How can you have direct power going to the flasher, I don't see it lasting ?
No, the flasher is not flashing until you turn on the switch and complete the circuit. If the switch is not turned on, the flasher is not doing anything. Just hanging out.
Can use 25-30a toggle switches with no relay if your load will only be 12a? I know I'm "supposed to use relays", but it's usually said that's because the toggle switches aren't made to handle that load...
Excellent! I have a bunch of wiring videos like these with different wiring methods. You just have to find the one that works best for you. This is probably right if you are doing a motorcycle and using LED bulbs! Thanks for watching!
I’m having a problem tried it like this and my flashers work but when I got to use my turn signals left or right all the lights flash as well as my hazard indicator switch how do I go about making my signal left and right turn on without having my hazards come on ? 😅 HELP LOL
It sounds like you are wiring both sides together somewhere in the circuit. Do you have some kind of signal light connected on the dashboard ? If so, that’s your problem.
Great video, explanation of the circuit was fantastic. I am rewiring a old car that was 6 volt to a 12 volt system and this circuit is exactly what I was looking for except for 1 thing. I have a single bulb in the dash for the indicator with no emergency flasher so where does that bulb get its power from so it flashes for both right or left turn? I did try a three wire flasher but the dash indicator would stay on steady all the time but flash when the signal was activated. Thanks for any help
The 3 pin relays are for LED's only. Pin 31 is ground, pin 49 is fused 12V from battery, and the pin 49A is positive and negative output. It alternates between + and - Pin 49A will turn on your indicators and your single dash/pilot indicator light alternately. If using LED's for the dash/pilot light, make sure it's a single LED and not a cluster. It must be a very low wattage, mine was 0.5 watts. It will work with incandescent bulb too, but it would not fully turn off when blinking. And if it is higher than 2 watts it will remain lit all the time
So, on an old ford truck I wanted to add hazards. Is ran fused full time power to a latching pushbutton switch that then is connected to a electronic flasher relay. Then I ran a wire from the relay load pin to the turn signal signals in series.. System seemed to work, but then I tried the turn signals. They apparently used the hazard connection wires to activate all the turn signals. Do I need to put diodes in the turn signal feeds? Or?
I’m having the same problem tried it like that my flashers work but when I got to use ny turn signals left or right all the lights flash as well as my hazard indicator switch 😅 HELP LOL
6:56 I want to do this on my motorcycle but I have a question. What would happen if you have the turn signal ON & then you turn the hazards ON? Would that cause a short or something? since you're powering one from the ignition & one straight from the battery?
Huge question: I'm trying to find a relay to add a blinker function to a taillight and headlight of a KRX1000 UTV. There has to be a relay I could supply power to that has enough function to allow the lights to flash regardless to weather or not the brake is on or off / lights are on or off... Any thoughts? I would like to tie this directly into the factory wiring harness.
Thanks. My blinkers went haywire and I’m not into spending a few hundred bucks to replace the BCM (body control module) cars are made way too complicated these days.
It just jumps together opposite sides of the switch. Check the comments here - I posted a picture for another person asking the same thing. Sorry about the confusion!
Is it possible to run your directional indicators and hazards throug 1 relay? I have a CF14GL-02 Relay. Its a 4 pin relay Live in 49, To switch 49a, Earth 31, Warning bulbs = C? Your videos are excellent by the way.
Motorcycles don't use a second relay for flasher. They use a dpdt switch, but for it to work, the ignition needs to be ON or in the Hazzard/acc position. It's a simpler circuit, but the ignition or acc needs to be on. 👍👍
Just viewed your video. I see the positive power to fuse; Fuse to flasher; flasher to switch; switch to light; to ground. How does this change when using Two individual 3 pin lighted switch (1 for left & 1 for Right side) using a three pin LED flasher? Is a five pin relay needed?
Hello. I'm new to the channel and loving it. I'm working on my 1997 mazda b4000. My front turn signals are located on the bumper. I want to relocate them to the day time lights located next to each headlight but socket are not the same. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
your videos are awesome can you do one on adding plow lights to a truck on toggles the wont affect the trucks stock wiring as most want you to do cut and splices to tie off the stock system as triggers and stuff?
This is a good idea! Do plow lights generally include high beams, low beams, front signals and back up lights? Or am I over complicating it? I’ve never had a plow truck, so I have no idea! Lol
@@WiringRescue they generally have hi low and turn on them. if you google snow dog plow lights or even universal plow lights you will see the most used kit everyone picks up as they run about $200 vs $1000+ from the original dealers like say western plows. the snow dog kit comes with a wire harness but its kind of ghetto the way they want you to wire it up. they have a 5 pin plug off the lights them self to work with tho so you can cut the harness out of the system and rewire it yourself. if theres a way to PM you on facebook, email or something along those lines i would be more then happy to send photos of my plow set up and lights to give you a better idea of it all.
@@WiringRescue I already installed mine! Am Amazon kit came with a turn signal rocker switch and a flasher. Paired with some harbor freight special LEDs, done!
I added front and rear led tail lights and front turn signals. I also installed the led flasher. The rear only flashes when I reinstalled the incandescent. I put led back in the rear and it only stays on steady. Do you know what could be going on
what would you need to do if you wired my vehicle in this way, and I had trailers that had regular bulbs for tail lights, or is this just for a vehicle that would not tow.... thank you...
Are there socket housings that come in orange (front-mount) or red (rear-mount) to protect the bulb and socket? Any you can recommend that fit the bulb socket listed in the video?

Very informative. Can you suggest LED lights & incandescent lights together & how to go about this. Reason l have both that are positioned at rear of Dodge AT4 Ute. Worx in progress. BTW we're in OZ
Having difficulty finding the right combination. Please help when convenient. Cheers 👋
5:10 and what about the ignition switch? Can this handle these amps because the ignition switch triggers also other accesoiries? Lets say you have 3 LED turn signals, front/rear/side and interior LED's
Another great video by Jeremy! For simplified, well explained, wiring circuits, you are the man!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent explanation. I have a 2021 kawasaki ninja 400 that does not have a hazard switch, i want to install a hazard switch to this motorbike is this the best way to do it?
For this set up using turn signals only not hazards were you using 16 gauge wires ?
I'm a newbie going to attempt rewiring a Jeep YJ. What are the chances we could get a video on the proper ways to splice all these wires? The proper connectors for engine bay vs under dash? Also what belongs where?
following my 96 XJ lol, have the same problem.
Excellent video, really clear visuals and explanation, instant subscribe!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
When I put on my blinkers (left or right), my 4 ways go on because the white wires are feeding back to the single pole throw double pole switch. Do I need a diode on the white wires going back to the double pole switch so electricity only flows one way?
I did a similar wiring for my turn signals on my lawnmower. But I uses 2 single pole toggle switches. Just off and on. One for left turn, one for right turn. Turn them both on for hazards
Just saw this video. Would you be able to help me with a project? That revolves around a wiring harness.
And branches into the brakes of light system
Very good informative vid. I have watched other vids of how to wire signal/hazard lights, but did not want to use a relay. I do have a question however: on the single throw switch you routed the red wire into the hole in the board.... but it does not show where the wire comes out. This is not done with any other wire. Does this mean the red wire is not used, or is it to be taken for granted that the wire is to be hooked up to the positive side of the battery?
could you explain what you mean by wiring the turn signal positive wire to the ignition (is that just the positive side of the battery or no?) thank you I am a complete novice at this stuff.
what are the two red wires coming of the flasher switch you have on your board .
If uhave on your hazard switch, current is flowing an u put on your turn switch an current is fiowing what will happing current is flowing both side on does bulbs
What would cause the flasher to click constantly? So everything works, flashes the way it supposed to but when I turn the switch to off the flasher(led) continues to flash without the lights flashing.
What if I already used white for parking lights and yet still wanna add brake lights to this circuit still using turn signals and keep hazard circuit as well
was looking at this so i can build one for an electric scooter & bike. Is this a bad idea? + grounding to the body of the bike & electric scooter. Thanks
Hey just wondering how someone would add a side marking light to the turn signal circuit but not have it blink just light up where you're turning
Did this the way he showed with Carlin switches and turn signals turn on both sides take hazards off and work as normal
Do these LED flashers draw any current when the Signals/ Hazard switches are turned off?
I'm thinking of the Hazard flasher in particular ,being connected to constant 12v. Since the LED flashers aren't Load Sensing, I assume they are always On (Always flashing)? If so, any chance they pull current before the Hazard switch directs the flashing 12v signal to the Marker lights?
Hope that makes sense!
No, they don't because the circuit is open, not complete. The flasher has 12V coming in, but the three-way switch is in the middle position (open), that way the circuit is incomplete and thus no current flow.
Another way to see it is a bulb that is connected to battery positive but not grounded: you have no complete circuit and no current flow. Much like those horn circuits with two wires going into the horn diaphragm because unlike most other automotive components, they are ground-switched instead of battery-positive switched.
I originally subscribed to follow your progress on your 64 wagon. Disappointed that I haven't seen any videos on the wagon in quite some time. So I will be unsubscribing from your channel. ☹️
Hello! First - I’d like to apologize for the lack of Impala updates. Second, I’d like to direct you to the new channel that I just started that will be specifically for my project cars youtube.com/@projectcarrescue and you will find the new 64 Impala videos (and other car projects) there. TH-cam is a weird place. It turns out that it is better to have separate channels for different topics. So I’ve decided to separate my project cars and the wiring entirely. Thanks for sticking around. I appreciate you reaching out, and I hope I can earn your subscription on my new project car channel.
@@WiringRescue subscribed to the new channel and will check the videos on the wagon. Thank you, Mike!!
@@impalasupersport6171 - thank you!! There is only one or two that you haven’t seen. But the newest one was a lot of work!
@Project Car Rescue All caught up. You've done alot of work.
@@impalasupersport6171 - sure have! I’ve got a long way to go still too! Haha! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Can you run flashers and tail lights with only two wires coming out of the light bulb?
Is there a part number for a 6v LED Flasher and switch ?
Is there a way to have the default state as always on, but then have the flasher interrupt that state? ... nevermind. Just saw your Video on 5 pin relay.. I can use 57a to keep light on & 57 wired to a flasher & to the same bulb.
You’ve got it! Thanks for watching!
Thank goodness I found your videos! Keep up the great work! Question just so my brain can rest: for the hazard lights side, are the pins on the right side of the switch jumped to each other? At first, I thought the red wires were going through a hole in your peg board. LOL!
The pins are jumped. :) Somewhere in these comments I posted pictures of it too. Dig around these comments to see. No wires go through the board. Thanks so much for watching!
Bad ass thank you
Your welcome!! Thanks for watching!
what are the red wires going to single throw double pole switch for hazzards
Whats the extra 2 red wires by the yellow one on the single throw switch ?
Could you do a video like this one showing how to do this setup with headlights taillights and brake lights I am building a motorized bike but can't find a good video showing how to do all the light wiring
Check out my wiring playlist. I actually have a few videos that should be what you are looking for. Good luck with your project!
Isn't the flasher running non stop do to having constant power? How long will a flasher last running constantly? So as long as your key is on your flasher is getting power and flashing? So if I drive to Florida nonstop which I have done, the flasher is clicking away for 16hrs strait How can you have direct power going to the flasher, I don't see it lasting
?
No, the flasher is not flashing until you turn on the switch and complete the circuit. If the switch is not turned on, the flasher is not doing anything. Just hanging out.
Can use 25-30a toggle switches with no relay if your load will only be 12a? I know I'm "supposed to use relays", but it's usually said that's because the toggle switches aren't made to handle that load...
Yes! As long as your switches and wiring can handle the load, you don’t necessarily need any relays.
This guy is awesome 😎 thanks for the help I got stop for all lights working at the same time 😂
Heck yes! Congrats!!
On the hazard set up, where are the two red wires going? Battery?
THANK YOU FOR SPELLING THIS OUT FOR ME!!! i have zero experience and im wringing a motorcycle, this helps so much
Excellent! I have a bunch of wiring videos like these with different wiring methods. You just have to find the one that works best for you. This is probably right if you are doing a motorcycle and using LED bulbs! Thanks for watching!
I’m having a problem tried it like this and my flashers work but when I got to use my turn signals left or right all the lights flash as well as my hazard indicator switch how do I go about making my signal left and right turn on without having my hazards come on ? 😅 HELP LOL
It sounds like you are wiring both sides together somewhere in the circuit. Do you have some kind of signal light connected on the dashboard ? If so, that’s your problem.
Great video, explanation of the circuit was fantastic. I am rewiring a old car that was 6 volt to a 12 volt system and this circuit is exactly what I was looking for except for 1 thing. I have a single bulb in the dash for the indicator with no emergency flasher so where does that bulb get its power from so it flashes for both right or left turn? I did try a three wire flasher but the dash indicator would stay on steady all the time but flash when the signal was activated. Thanks for any help
The 3 pin relays are for LED's only.
Pin 31 is ground, pin 49 is fused 12V from battery, and the pin 49A is positive and negative output. It alternates between + and -
Pin 49A will turn on your indicators and your single dash/pilot indicator light alternately.
If using LED's for the dash/pilot light, make sure it's a single LED and not a cluster. It must be a very low wattage, mine was 0.5 watts.
It will work with incandescent bulb too, but it would not fully turn off when blinking.
And if it is higher than 2 watts it will remain lit all the time
This is a good video
Thank you!
So, on an old ford truck I wanted to add hazards. Is ran fused full time power to a latching pushbutton switch that then is connected to a electronic flasher relay. Then I ran a wire from the relay load pin to the turn signal signals in series.. System seemed to work, but then I tried the turn signals. They apparently used the hazard connection wires to activate all the turn signals. Do I need to put diodes in the turn signal feeds? Or?
I’m having the same problem tried it like that my flashers work but when I got to use ny turn signals left or right all the lights flash as well as my hazard indicator switch 😅 HELP LOL
okay, So i understand this so far, however how would you be able to do brake lights with turn signals?
I made a video for that. Check out this. th-cam.com/video/h6F9PauqvXc/w-d-xo.html
great work. Im finally wrapping my head around this stuff. Your clear explanations make it possible. thanks man
That’s fantastic! Thank you for watching the videos!
Thank you
You are very welcome! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
6:56 I want to do this on my motorcycle but I have a question.
What would happen if you have the turn signal ON & then you turn the hazards ON?
Would that cause a short or something? since you're powering one from the ignition & one straight from the battery?
In that scenario, the hazard wins. As soon as your hazards are off, your turn signal continues flashing.
@@WiringRescue Thanks for the reply. So it's totally fine? because in my mind since 2 positives connect I thought it could short or something.
wonderful video, it's really easy to understand.
thanks for the video and for your time.
I’m glad that you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Love your videos! Thank you so much.
Thank you this amazing tutorial, i have 0 wireing knowledge but, i made a turn signal to my e-bike. Thanks your work🙌
That’s amazing! Congrats on taking on a project and learning something new. That’s always such a great feeling when it works! :D
@@WiringRescue absolutely. Thank you 😊.
Huge question:
I'm trying to find a relay to add a blinker function to a taillight and headlight of a KRX1000 UTV.
There has to be a relay I could supply power to that has enough function to allow the lights to flash regardless to weather or not the brake is on or off / lights are on or off...
Any thoughts?
I would like to tie this directly into the factory wiring harness.
Thanks. My blinkers went haywire and I’m not into spending a few hundred bucks to replace the BCM (body control module) cars are made way too complicated these days.
Very clear explanation,now im going to buy parts for my fatbike👍
Sounds like an awesome project! Thanks for watching the video!
Where do the two mysterious red wires, coming out of the hazard switch, go? 🤔
It just jumps together opposite sides of the switch. Check the comments here - I posted a picture for another person asking the same thing. Sorry about the confusion!
Is it possible to run your directional indicators and hazards throug 1 relay? I have a CF14GL-02 Relay. Its a 4 pin relay Live in 49, To switch 49a, Earth 31, Warning bulbs = C?
Your videos are excellent by the way.
thanku
You’re very welcome!
where is the red wire on switch connected to?
Motorcycles don't use a second relay for flasher. They use a dpdt switch, but for it to work, the ignition needs to be ON or in the Hazzard/acc position. It's a simpler circuit, but the ignition or acc needs to be on. 👍👍
Just viewed your video. I see the positive power to fuse; Fuse to flasher; flasher to switch; switch to light; to ground. How does this change when using Two individual 3 pin lighted switch (1 for left & 1 for Right side) using a three pin LED flasher? Is a five pin relay needed?

I have an 1982 Toyota Corolla an u saved me Alot of money and time
Heck yes! 82 Corollas are rad as heck! I’m glad the video helped you out! Thanks for watching.
1 resistor for Right Front. 1 resistor for Right Rear. 1 resistor for Left Front. 1 resistor for Left Rear.
Yes - that’s another method of making LED lights work. There are many ways to wire a light bulb! Thanks for watching!
Hello. I'm new to the channel and loving it.
I'm working on my 1997 mazda b4000. My front turn signals are located on the bumper. I want to relocate them to the day time lights located next to each headlight but socket are not the same. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I connected a regular 2 pin Turn Signal Flasher, and it is operating LED lamps without a problem.
your videos are awesome can you do one on adding plow lights to a truck on toggles the wont affect the trucks stock wiring as most want you to do cut and splices to tie off the stock system as triggers and stuff?
This is a good idea! Do plow lights generally include high beams, low beams, front signals and back up lights? Or am I over complicating it? I’ve never had a plow truck, so I have no idea! Lol
@@WiringRescue they generally have hi low and turn on them. if you google snow dog plow lights or even universal plow lights you will see the most used kit everyone picks up as they run about $200 vs $1000+ from the original dealers like say western plows. the snow dog kit comes with a wire harness but its kind of ghetto the way they want you to wire it up. they have a 5 pin plug off the lights them self to work with tho so you can cut the harness out of the system and rewire it yourself. if theres a way to PM you on facebook, email or something along those lines i would be more then happy to send photos of my plow set up and lights to give you a better idea of it all.
Can't be that easy!!
I mean, it’s pretty easy. I did document it on camera for ya! :D
@@WiringRescue I already installed mine! Am Amazon kit came with a turn signal rocker switch and a flasher. Paired with some harbor freight special LEDs, done!
Thank you! I enjoy your informative videos. I have one question, wouldn't a spst switch work just as well for the hazard switch?
Well we have 3pin flasherss
I added front and rear led tail lights and front turn signals. I also installed the led flasher. The rear only flashes when I reinstalled the incandescent. I put led back in the rear and it only stays on steady. Do you know what could be going on
love your videos. Do you have a video for how to properly size your wire?
Thanks ! I’m glad you enjoy them. This video covers fuse and wire sizes. th-cam.com/video/EhzN6UdnmPA/w-d-xo.html. Enjoy!
what would you need to do if you wired my vehicle in this way, and I had trailers that had regular bulbs for tail lights, or is this just for a vehicle that would not tow.... thank you...
This has been the most helpful thing I have seen. Thank you
Awesome! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Are there socket housings that come in orange (front-mount) or red (rear-mount) to protect the bulb and socket? Any you can recommend that fit the bulb socket listed in the video?
I've been reading your 4g63t harness post on hotrod wiki. And I was wondering If you can run the engine without the power transistor unit
Crystal clear. Thanks for sharing your techniques
You’re very welcome! Glad you liked the videos!
That’s cool. Where do you add in the breaks tho?
Check out my other videos that include brakes th-cam.com/play/PLsF7T1tRFy2hmiiUUfMZNyV-BUA_yrPIh.html
thank you a million times. i really appreciate your effort
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos!
Hi, what part filament or wire or side of the 2 conductor socket is the flasher and what side is the running light?
