Rewire front side marker to flash opposite front turn signal on 71-74 B Body anyone?

[Nacho-RT74]

I though it had it but not yet, so Had to delete my post thinking I got it

Yes I know, but need to source it right, because if not, will light up ALLWAYS. Need to link the sidemarker to a HOT source on positive side JUST when turning lights are on to keep the hot fixed while lever is on position, then break ground will work to blink off opposite.

The problem is, the flasher gets the source straight from batt/acc ( pre turning switch )... then the turning switch gets the source to spread up ALREADY blinking from flasher. The flasher works just AFTER the load is present, selected by the turning switch

So we can't get the Hot source from flasher ( after or before ), neither from turning swith. Not at least on an easy way

THIS IS THE MOMENT the cornering light switch pieces comes into play!!! to feed the hot source JUST when turning lever switch is activated

this is the only way I can find to make them work opposite on BOTH stances, day at night... set up for EACH corner

pretty much easier than anything, but requiere this turning swicth ( if this switch works as I suspect ).

then two extra wires to each corner, one relay, one diode and couple of splices

- - - Updated - - -

I never have tested how the cornering lights harness works, but I guess muste be one hot input from batt/acc and two outputs one to each side, hence the 3 added wires

DIAGRAM CORRECTED, diode must be on the other side of the splice, to save the FULL parking system to be sourced from cornering light system when activated... the other way doesn't matter since power doesn't run anywhere important, except a hot source which will be already existant anyway...




Previous diagram was to cut the power to cornering light harness when parkings are on ( which actually doesn't matter ) but wouldn't save to feed the parking lights when cornering system are on

Check this out, it sounds too easy.

You would have to isolate the ground on the marker from the body somehow

Hey guys this works, it is how factorys do it, no relays , simple, just like my 06 duramax is wired.

Also just looked at 96 dakota wiring diagram and that how they do it also........ standard on lots of vehicles....

Yes it will thanks now you show it I have seen it before
Dead brain cel I guess

I saw it and mentioned... Options given are because was mentioned it could dim somehow, so that's why I was thinking how to make it different... Do they blink opposite ?

 

[A383Wing]

yes, my Dakota and Shadow blink opposite when parking lights are on..they blink the same with lights off

 

[Nacho-RT74]

but are they wired like that?

thats nice then, and I have talked bull***t LOL

 

[A383Wing]

I just looked in my 94 Dakota service manual at the front end wiring diagram for front end lighting, yes, they are wired like that

no relays, no diodes, no switches....just wire the side marker bulb to the front park and turn signal wires (not the ground wire) and it will blink opposite from front turn signal light when parking lights are on
