Turn Signal Troubleshooting?

I just bought the same turn signal...after following the installation direction I have another problem.

The blinkers stop blinking when I press the brakes. Everything else works normal. The bulb has two elements and the brakes share the same element as the blinker. Not sure how to fix this problem. Any Suggestions?

Do the front markers flash and rear stay on? Could be some type of back feeding from the brake depress. See if the front markers light up with the brake.

my turn signal came mis-wired from the factory. just a thought.

UPDATE: Got it figured out. I rewired the whole cart from the diagram I found on this web site and now it works. I suspect I had the brake light switch incorrectly wired.

Thanks for all who responded.

Thanks for the diagram Cactus. I'm going to tear into mine this weekend when its 105 out side and 125 in the garage and see if I don't have a wiring issue.

I do need to add a brake light switch but that's for another thread!

You're welcome....

I hope nobody minds me adding a picture of the brake switch I installed. You just drill a whole through the brake pedal and install this switch. You press on this switch as you press the brakes...works great and its only 20 bucks!

I used the Diagram above with this switch and it works great!

This is my thread so that's perfect. I bought one similar to this that I need to install. It just came with wires and fuses for me to hookup. I like yours better! I hadn't quite figured out how I would drill a 1 Inch hole in my break pedal though. I don't want to spend 100 bucks on a drill bit that big.

How did you do that?

Hi Ray,

To get the hole started I used the biggest drill I had..then I used a $3 dollar (don't laugh) Spade drill to enlarge the hole. Since the pedal is plastic it worked great! See pictures bellow.

You can get one of these, they don't cost 100 bucks

Yep and you can get them about anywhere.
