Fmans Dart 427 build #9818 - 14" Leather steering wheel

[Fman]

I was able to spend a little more time today wiring up the IDIDIT relay, RT turn signal, and started running my accessory wires. I definitely will be picking up a grounding bar, can see that will be needed. I have most of the "core" wiring hooked up, if it actually works TBD when I put a battery on the car.

RT and IDIDIT important info, I was having problems figuring out the wiring for the IDIDIT relay, and RT turn signal and the host of other wires coming from the dash harness. Edwardb and Papa gave me a lifeline and explained how the wiring works along with what switches RT and IDIDIT were replacing. I wanted to post up EdwardB's reply so it is in my build thread for others to use down the road. I can guarantee in a few months I won't remember how to do it again I really can't thank them enough, would have been stuck without there feedback!

"Exactly. Nearly everything is in the RF chassis wiring harness schematic.

- The three turn signal wires on Russ's assembly replace the turn signal switch in the RF schematic. Wired exactly as pictured there. The grey feed wire is attached to the common lead. The dark green (left) and light blue (right) to the appropriate other two wires.

- Assuming you want the button on the end of the turn signal stalk to do the high/low beams, there are the two wires from the switch out of Russ's assembly. One goes to ididit switch tan wire. The other to ground. Doesn't matter which. Pushing the button grounds the tan wire and switches the ididit switch.

- For the actual high and low headlight wiring, the iditit switch replaces the dimmer switch in the RF schematic. Wire exactly as pictured there using the purple, green and yellow wires from the ididit switch. You just need to add +12V battery power and ground for the ididit switch. You did get the instructions that came with it, right? Shows and explains pretty clearly. Just got that piece for my new build and it seems exactly suited to our needs. Much simpler than putting together the circuit yourself like the schematics that came with your RT turn signal assembly. And does the same thing, e.g. high/low beam switch plus flash to pass.

From TedG's build a very nice wiring schematic to simplify the IDIDIT/RT turn signal wiring. Thanks Ted!



Here is a pic of the IDIDIT relay, RT turn signal and accessory bundle from the RF dash harness



The rats nest of wires forming behind my dash, I am going to hold off on housekeeping until I confirm everything is working properly. I am 96.4% confident I did everything right....



Started to pull my footbox blower wires through along with the accessorie bundle from RF harness. I am going to be using the heater, wiper, and radio hot wires to power my heated seats, USB charger and footbox vents.
