Hazard Switch

[biksz]

hope some one can help on this i have got a 2way toggle switch i want to use as a hazard switch but cant get my head round how wire it up. also my indicators i want to go to one green light instead of 2 but all indicators flash with one green light any ideas?

one warning light is simple enough, just use diodes. can run up a diagram if needed, but I am sure someone on here will have one prepared.

 

toggle switch is also possible, but it will depend on your switch how you can wire it.

 

if it has one set of contacts you will have to have a permanent live to the flasher unit, this unfortunately means that the indicators will also work all the time ignition on or off.

 

switch the left and right indicators on with switch, through diodes, to prevent cross feeding with indicator.

 

if it is a two pole switch, or you can replace it with one, one pole can switch on the flasher unit, the other the indicators, as above with diodes.

 

Can also run up diagram if required, but again suspect that I will be beaten to it.

A diagram will be spot on please :-)

At least u got lights lol

One indicator tell tale is just a case of a connection from the left to one side of the tell tale and a connection from the right to the other. No diodes or earth's required,one side earth's the other with just the required side flashing. No idea how it does it, Longboarder posted the tech on this a few years ago which you should be able to find if you search for it.

Steve I ok with the indicators it's just the hazard I can't get my head round

What about a rocker switch from a production car, mini etc as it'll have the right connections . Loads of different ones on ebay

Thought about that but realy want the toggle switch with the red illumination

I have done this, with a red illuminated switch. if i remember correctly I used diodes to connect the indicator wiring to the output from toggle switch so that there couldnt be feedback through the switch connection. It works anyway and the illuminated switch flashes the same as the indicators.

Got it sorted sorted now thanks for diode advice got some and it works yippeee

Interesting name. The only time I have seen a flying custard was when my x threw a rather large one at my head when I told her to leave. Well not quite that politely.
