It can be a weak flasher. I've seen them flash fast if one has been left on for a long time, super heating that bi metallic strip inside the...
If you guys don't have any questions, I'll probably just post information as it comes up in tech calls and emails to keep the ball rolling, but...
Glad to do it, I hear that smoke is almost impossible to put back in once it's out. That's what I thought about the push button, If you turned...
Nice, that would be easy enough to run the new wires all the way into the switch, and still use the 3 pin flasher if you wanted. Does that push...
I know what you mean! Sometimes with wiring it's better the less you know about it. You just connect the wires and it works, you don't worry with...
Crazy Steve is right, If you want to use dual filament bulbs in the rear, like 1157's you'll need to put a trailer light converter box inline in...
Had a few headlight switch, blown fuse questions lately and thought I'd post a little on that. Both actually on Shoebox Fords, so let's start with...
It does, around 3 watt from what I've seen on most alternators. The LED won't draw enough to make the alternator start charging. In my experience
This should work for it, just the bottom alternator diagram. This one is also in the instruction manual, showing an indicator light. The indicator...
Oh, yeah... Here's the Ford Alternator wiring diagram. Along with a Ford generator diagram [ATTACH] I've also seen a small box now that you can...
I've helped a couple guys out with EZ Wire kit's. I think when they deal with the same tech support you mentioned. Most of the wiring overlaps and...
Great, thanks! The Pertronix setup normally just goes to positive and negative on the coil, with our pink coil wire also to the positive. Keep in...
So while working on a project, a Mopar 318 engine, I wanted to clean up the ignition wiring. I didn't want to use the old ignition box (for cost...
Hey guys, I was trying to send this out to someone following the thread and thinking about a 6v to 12v conversion. Couldn't get it to go through,...
We’d like to, but It’s probably not something we’ll do anytime soon. The added cost of material and equipment is one factor, but we’re always...
The 60 switch would have a brake wire on the turn signal switch like the other guys are saying.Try this out. This is from a 1956 and seems to...
That’s it. If you pull them all and it doesn’t go out, it would be something directly on the battery, like a bad diode or something in the...
Here’s a picture before and after finding my draw. The test light just goes inline in one of the cables, with the other cable still connected....
I had thought about building one to use in the shop and had this draw problem come up so it was a good time to build it. Then it just kept getting...
You want both cables connected to the battery, but one will have the bulb inline between the cable and the battery terminal. So In my case I left...
That’s funny, just because I did this myself yesterday. You pull either cable, only one, and the test light goes in between the cable and the...
Hope it helped. I think I could do turn signal tech all the time. It can be tricky. I just did a old VW beetle where I used a combination of an...
I did this a while back just to inform guys about turn signal switches/ and bulb operation in general [ATTACH]
I'd go for that. When I started this, I intended for it to go that way, but you know how plans go sometimes. Figured it would be a good way to...
The turn signal switch/bulb wiring will basically wire this way, just according to your Limeworks switch colors and the 3 pin flasher instead of...
They must be self grounding, and use one wire for tail lights, and the other wire would be stop and turn. Your turn signal switch has to have a...
Here's a couple switches that are always quick to wire, mainly because they're just open and closed switches. So they just make or break...
Thanks! We just got back from delivering kits to the Shades of the Past show. Got your order ready to go out first thing in the morning
Back on the rails this morning... I talk to a lot of guys about ammeter or amp gauge wiring. It always comes down to what you're using for an...
Right, when you use your key, or key and push button, whichever combination, you're just sending power to the solenoid (which is just really a...
