Help is needed. I just purchased one of these units found here:
http://www.classicparts.com/1947-72-Turnsignal-Switch-Assembly/productinfo/53%2D551/It mounts on the steering column (on my 52 chevy PU). Does anyone have any more detailed directions on hooking this thing up? The instructions are over-simplified and seem 'mickey mouse' to me. Ex. It comes with 6 diff't colored wires that all hook to various spots--but it's not very detailed. Ex. the "orange" and "brown" wires are supposed to connect to the "Left Rear Stop or Tail light (cut/tape)" and the red wire connects thru somehow to the "Right Rear Stop or Tail light" the same way.
FYI, my tail-light assembly today consists of (2) 3" led lights that come on w/the headlights). These are connected by (2) wires (one brown, one red) that begin inside dash and travel length of bed to the left light (both wires feed the light), then under the bed, they are spliced/soldered together to feed the right tail light. Just to be clear, I only have 2 rear lights (one on each side) above bumper. So I'm not sure whether I need to sever the connection between both lights, and have them independently connect to the "orange" and "brown" wires back at the turn signal?? This seems bizarre as I'll then have 4 new wires (2 for each light) running from dash to rear. I'm just not a wiring guy...
Seperate Note/Issue: I'm also trying to get these guys to turn on w/the headlights. Dont ask me why, but these came with the truck) find a pic here:
http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/...1_A|GRP2044____FYI, I have a 12 volt system in this truck -- and have a small fuse panel bolted to firewall (in front of dash) that has 4 circular wire mounts, it reads "Stop & Tail Fuses" 12v.
ANY help is appreciated.
