Hey Guys,
Can someone explain to me how to wire in the 2 pole flasher into the small rear taillights. This is how I currently have it hooked up with no luck :-/...

12V ---> X Terminal on Flasher
Reverse Lights_12V ----> Bulb terminal
Turn Signal_12V -----> L Terminal on Flasher & Bulb Terminal
Flasher Gnd-----> Chasis Gnd

Please correct my mistakes. Thank you

Jason

The turn signal wiring goes through the hazard switch. Basic flow diagram is this:



12V Battery ---------------| |---- Right Blinker Switch ---- Right Blinker Bulbs ---- Ground
| |---Hazard Switch -----------|
Hazard Switch ---------- Turn Signal Module -------|
| |---Hazard Switch -----------|
12V Ignition Switched -----| |---- Left Blinker Switch ----- Left Blinker Bulbs ----- Ground

The hazard switch has three parts:

A switch that switches the circuit to be powered by battery when the hazard switch is pushed and powered by ignition when it's not.
A switch that activates the left blinker
A switch that activates the right blinker

You have the ground on the flasher module correct, but the other two should both go to the hazard switch.

Thanks for the reply. The thing that I'm most confused about is how this 2 pin bulb is going to serve a dual purpose as reverse lights and blinkers. Ex. There are 3 signals. Blinker, reverse, and ground but only two pins on the bulb. Any further help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Jason

Disregard this post. Realized the lights come with the wrong bulbs installed. Got it working now haha
