Re: Brake/Turn signal wiring
most tf trucks i've owned had the signal-stat 900 turn switch, it looks like an add-on but isn't
only 1 truck had the built-in switch in the column turn/brake wiring can be confusing, in the pre-internet days all i had was a motors manual, it was worthless the biggest thing to remember is that your brake lights are your turn signals 6 wires: 2 are hot in, the other 4 go to each corner of your truck one hot is from the flasher, the other hot in is from the brake light switch there is no other wire coming off the brake light switch, only to the turn signal switch tail lights and front running lights come off the headlight switch modern turn signals wiring is 7 wire, cuz they break out the turn flasher and hazard flasher any aftermarket wiring harness is 7 wire, if you look closely blue and yellow are combined in the signal-stat 900 https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...ga-gif.342281/ to add to the confusion, our trucks have no fuse panel from the factory both brake/turn and tail/running lights get power from the headlight switch orange text brake & turn is the feed to the brake light switch and thus into the turn signal switch black text is tail lights and wires directly to the tail lights purple text is front running lights, they turn off when headlights are on on a new wiring harness you will have a separate fuse for turn flasher and hazard flasher you would not wire these from the headlight switch http://st.hotrod.com/uploads/sites/2...erview.JPG.jpg i did a write-up on the headlight switch and how it is used as the main fuse box on most trucks a few years ago here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...71&postcount=7 |
Re: Brake/Turn signal wiring
Rob have you got the stock turn signal switch or an aftermarket switch like Ogre showed?
I am assuming that you have the stock switch and searched some yesterday but didn't find a diagram that was easy enough to read. |
Re: Brake/Turn signal wiring
Thank you so much for the diagram Ogre.
I do have the stock light switch but I have an ididit column/turn signal indicator. Ibough some new wiring for the brake/indicator lights because what I have is the original and a bit crusty. I'm going to replace what I can before I install my new bed wood....stained ebony with satin clear coat. I'll post pictures of that when I'm done. Thank you both for your help with this and previous issues. Rob. |

Ididit columns usually use the turn signal switch that is the same as most 77/83 Chevy turn signal switches.
The two diagrams should help and here is a link to one with a 67 Pontiac column that we did 9 years ago that should have all the answers you need. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=609706 Note not all the wires on the switch in your column might get used on your truck. That isn't an issue as you use what you need to do what you need to do when you are using it in an old truck. |
