How To Wire Turn Signals, Brake Lights, Parking Lamps, and Hazard Circuit Switch | @WiringRescue

In this video we wire a turn signal, brake light, parking light and hazard light switch (4-way flasher) circuit. I use the American Autowire 500148 turn signal switch, along with two single throw double pole switches to control the whole circuit. I also use four 1157 two-filament light bulbs, two novita 2-pin flashers, and four fused wires. This style electrical circuit could be used for a hotrod, car, truck, motorcycle, ATV, side by side, or maybe even an electric bike. It’s up to you!

Thank You for Watching my Turn Signal Wiring video! 

[terrylane]

500148 is the key to this whole thing. I was very puzzled up until i realized all that one switch does. Thank you.

[boborlando]

I have looked at dozens of schematics and this one cleared it all up. Thank you.

We are doing the wiring on a 49 Chevy truck, 6 to 12v and your video literally made a light come on for me! Thanks!

Thanks for keeping it as simple as possible & explaining how it works ! I will be wiring my project as simple as I can .. & using LED, turn, running lights & stop ... Nothing fancy nor extra .. just like the 1930's & forties .. thinking of using the old truck style steering column mounted controls with built in flasher .. it comes with pig tail wires .. keyed on & off power switch with separate starter button .. leaning towards fused individual power wire system rather than fuse box with relay system .. nothing complex extremely simple ! for my use only .. old school with new technology low heat & low amp draw, along with over kill wire size & properly fused .. my build vehicle has no long run wire over 8 ft .. it's a super tiny truck .. one wire GM alternator .. head light switch has built in dash dimmer switch it's all so a very old style GM truck push & pull style .. I might go with a floor mount High beam switch or toggle switch .. not sure yet just in the planning stage & gathering all the parts first ...

Using a DPDT switch for the hazards and 4 diodes you don't need a second Flasher and it is very easy to wire. Use regular Schottky diodes used for Solar panels. They have THICK leads and are easy to solder, crimp connectors to or just twist together.

Solder or crimp the Cathode, with each of the turn signal wires that go to the American Autowire (25Amp @12V) 500148 Switch.

The Anodes all go together and to the DPDT switch.

Sounds Complicated but it's not.

If you want to make it look more sleek, look up MBRF20200CTR 20 Amperes Insulated Dual Common Anode Schottky Half Bridge Rectifiers TO220F.

I love how you explain how all this works! And the peg board visual is amazing! 🙌

You just helped me. Im building a s10 from scratch full teardown and theres one thing that confuses me and its wiring. Ive been looking everywhere for about 2 months and couldnt find anything that i can use until i watched this so thanks man. Great video

[TheFixerHomeRepair]

This is some great info. I love these experiment style videos! Very cool to see how everything works! Thanks for the video!

[simon_hawk]

These vids are great, finally beginning to understand basic automotive wiring! Thank you!

[dennismccain]

I really like this set up for a kit car, buggy, sandrail etc. No need for numerous relays. Thx. All your videos are very informative

[qwertykeyboardwarrior]

thanks for the helping me understanding this, i didnt copy you exactly i used 1 flasher and spliced off that so it powers both the turn signal and hazards. the i used 1 6 pin double pole switch instead of 2 switches so one way i get running lights and i flip the switch the other way and i get flashing power to my hazzards. now i have black out features to :)

[DaveNorthWest]

Looks like ill be replicating this circuit and
putting it in my hotrod. Thanks for this video it helps me a lot

[Tizzy_p]

This is great lol I’m on roading a rm85 2003 and wiring a full loom to run off a battery rather than the bikes stator this is helping a bunch

[DaveCraig-zz]

You my friend are awesome! You cleared it all up. And taught me something.

[NotempoT]

Great stuff. I appreciate you posting this. Actually explains a lot visually of how my Ron Francis kit works...and how I could have wired the car without a kit.

[HarryTolle-kw]

Thanks! I finally got the wiring figured out on my 69 karmann ghia😀

[johnallen]

as a 75yr old guy from the UK i always find your video's easy to understand ! - i wonder what part no. would be available over here equivalent to the 500148 ??- many thanks

[Lifeasiseeit]

Thank you for the great content! Been looking for you for weeks. This is a great help for my first wiring job.

[RobertGribi-chww]

Made it easy to understand. Great job. Thanks
