How to wire switchbacks?

Go to the parts store and buy (2) $3.50 relays. 1 for each side.

look at the back side of the relay where the prongs are and you will see numbers by each prong. Then wire it like this..

85-------ground signal wiring, any ground
86-------tap into the (+) signal wiring
30-------input (+) running light wire
87a------output (+) running light wire

Just tap into the positive turn signal wire and run it to pin 86. Then your going to feed the running light thru the relay. So cut the running light positive wire that you want to turn off when the turn signal is on and it will run to pin 30 then from 87a feed the running light. If you wire it like this every time the turn signal is on the replay will kill the running light.

Oh, my f&$!in' head. I wish I wasn't so damn dumb. That's worse than reading nuclear operation manuals.

Rab, can we make a thread about something I'm smarter in? Like, I don't know, washing dogs, or digging postholes, or something?

Hey, WTH is wrong with nuclear operation manuals?!?!

I personally like Khan's Physics of Radiation Therapy...it's a real page turner!

Follow the video and make sure you tapped the correct wires. Mine work fine and no relays needed.

@MiM, keep us posted on the progress. If you can, snap and post a quick pic. May be able to help you better if we see what you are working with.

I'm not familiar with the lights you are using, but the Tric LEDs had only 3 wires too. Black, red, and yellow. Perhaps they had something hidden internally.

try this site, for switchbacks installed on my ss...easy pee zee...:) no relays..

I had the opportunity to see them in action on @rydahog's Sling, and they are really sharp!!! And no one has to try hard to see his turn signals working!!

Please disregard this post. I was going from memory and I was wrong about the TricLED. There is a module near the end of the wires

Sorry if I caused you any problems.
