Default Re: Irregular Signal Flashing

Hmm... I just thought of one more difference that took place during the signal switch swap.

The previous owner had the instrument panel light wired into the toggle turn signal switch so that it would blink as a reminder that the toggle switch was activated. (The way he wired it, the instrument panel light did not turn “on” at all with the headlight switch on the steering wheel.) During daylight, I suppose the blinking instrument panel light was useful. However, at night, the blinking instrument panel light was very annoying and made it difficult to see how to drive. So, I left it out of the circuit when I swapped to the 900 switch.

So, it looks like I have slightly less load on the circuit when blinking now than when the old toggle turn signal switch was installed.

I’ve still got to figure out how to hook the instrument panel light back up. I definitely don’t want it to blink. ;-)
