blinker switch wiring

alarep5 · 04-11-2010, 03:53 PM

The modifications go on,
Got the stereo in a few weeks ago, headlites on, now I want to get tailights with brakes and blinkers. So I found a universal blinker switch at a surplus store, but no wiring legend.
8 wires
yellow
grey
blue
green
grey with blk stripe
black
white
red

It is a "Grote" brand
Anybody know how to wire this thing up?
I sent messages to Grote and someone that was listed under a search for
"grote signal switch wiring" but no answers yet.

No one has installed blinkers on their cart?

I found a wiring diagram, everything works fine.
Really glad I installed them.
If you drive your cart on streets with cars, I highly recommend having lights.
Driving lights, brake lights, blinkers. Many of the drivers in my neighborhood commented that they never new what direction I was going when they met me on the street.
All is good now.

Just googled "universal signal switch wiring" and found a diagram right away.
In most cases you will get instructions with a universal turn signal switch that you buy.
I just happened to find exactly the style I wanted at a surplus store with no installation instructions.

I wish I couldve helped you but mine has them installed already on one cart. What are the links you found that helped incase I wanna do my other cart?

OK, how many wires for the back tailights? What about the front head lights, lets break down what you have and go from there.

black death,
I just googled " universal turn signal wiring" I clicked on the first or second link and I got my info with a diagram.
If you buy a signal switch from a dealer or online just make sure it comes with instructions, it should. If not, google it.

Markskarts,
Who is your post directed to? Me or Black death?
I am all set, I figured out all my wiring.

alarep5,

Glad you got it fixed up.

How do you wire the front lights with a single filament to blink and not back-feed into the running lights, diodes?

alarep5 · 04-18-2010, 08:16 AM

Hot cat,
You could wire in relays with a flasher(or two?)

essness,
thanks for the diagram.
I found one just like it, but it doesn't match the one I have/need.
Strange how they are different, you would think there would be an industry norm?
