I am just about ready to add turn signal. I purchased the item for the
steering tube at a swap meet last year and it has the wiring diagram I need.
However since a 46 has no signals I need to do some wiring work.
Rear:
For the rear I would purchase from Carter the extra bulb splitter that goes
inside the rear fixture and wiring should be simple.
Front:
Now the parking lights are wired into the headlight switch, using the middle
pullout point the parking lights come on. They can only be on if the truck
headlight are off. Once the headlights are turned on then the parking
lights go off. This is wired with one wire from the switch to the light
block on the front left. From there it is pigtailed to the left parking
light and pigtailed to cross over to the second block. Then the right
parking light is connected to this block completing the parking light setup.
I do not drive the truck with the parking lights on. What I would like to
do is use the existing setup and somehow wire the right and left turn signal
into the parking lights. I would like to use the existing setup and not
have to replace the bulb bucket with the 2 filament bulb. However, if I use
the existing setup as is I would get both lights to blink when I only want
one to do so. Also, I would like to be able to turn on the parking lights.
What I would like to be able to do is splice the new left turn wire into the
parking light wire between the bulb and block and somehow have a "don't let
power flow backwards switch" installed between the splice and the block. I
would run the right wire over to the right side with the same magic hookup.
Is there something out there that would allow the power to flow into the
lights and not back out and across to the other light since I do not want
both blinking at the same time?
LONG AND NOT TO THE POINT BUT IS THERE SUCH AN ITEM?
Thanks,
NHJim
