| I'm not trying to beat this into the ground here, but seeing as I can't really afford to pay someone to install them...I have a 1970 civi ambo. I have acquired a pair of rear turn signals, front signals, switch and the flasher, everything I need (except of course the wire). 1) my rear signals (I don't know if the fromt signals do, they are coming in the mail this week from Cyclegarden) have these plug dealies on the wires as seen in this photohttp://home.austin.rr.com/doniel/images/ptl2.jpg Do I need some special plugs for the wiring I buy or should I cut these plugs off? 2) The switch I got has an 11 pin in a 12 pin male sockethttp://home.austin.rr.com/doniel/images/pswya.jpg. Will I find a connection for this plug when i start removing the old switch or will it require some modifications? If so, what? 3)Is there anyone who can sketch me out a simple wiring diagram that includes only the components I will be using in this connection? I have wiring diagrams from ambo civi and police, but the police diagram is confusing me. I need something on its own that I can plug into my civi wiring configuration. Sorry to keep asking so many questions on this matter. I have no experience messing with electrics and don't want to start only to find out it is over my head. Thanks! DS |
There is a good schematic on the web page. As far as the ends--either buy
bullet connectors to match, or cut them off and use spade
connectors--both should be available at a good hardware store if you can
find one.
To draw a simplified schematic:
1. Draw a battery. One wire goes to ground (neg), the other wire goes to
the two terminal turn signal blinker, available anywhere.
2. The other terminal of the blinker goes to the switch--which acts as a
two way gate. the middle position being off, the other two positions
being right and left.
3. Run the right wire to the right turn signals, ant the left to the left
turnsignals. Be sure the signals have good ground connections. Mount
those puppies up and go for a ride...
