    Hello all,
    Can I have someone double check my thinking please?

    The wiring kit is an American Auto wire kit, in the pics the brown wire is hazard light feed from the fuse box, it goes through the flasher in the fuse box to flash the hazards...
    Blue wires go to front turn signals..
    White wire goes to tail lights via the brake light circuit....

    Here are pics of the flarestat unit. It appears to need its own flasher.
    Inside the flarestat it looks like the blue wire goes to the flasher bulb on the flarestat unit...
    The red wires go to the turn signals..
    The brown wire is power in...

    The power goes in the brown wire through the flasher, out the flasher to the yellow wire into the switch.

    From what I've figured, I can bypass the switch needing it's own flasher, put my brown power wire straight to that yellow wire, splice the blue one to that wire so the switch light blinks too.... Then I connect one each of the red wires to my two blue ones and the white one, then tie up the 4th red wire?
    That'll work?

    Can anyone think of any reason why I couldn't or shouldn't just use one of the red wires to power all 3 of my current blinker wires?

    Thanks in advance

    Nevermind. I just tried it, I was right. For anyone's reference in the future, I was right. Only thing is that splicing the blue wire kept the switches light on even when off, so I'll tie that in to the headlights on/off switch ..... Or connect that to the 4th red wire. Maybe I'll connect that to the 4th red wire.
