Question. What would make my hazards alternate?

[@Stacy_Smith]

Dude this video would be way easier if you would've shown a wiring diagram that we could pause and screenshot.

[@WiringRescue]

@@Stacy_Smith - I unfortunately don’t have diagrams for these because I just make these circuits up based on what I think people will find useful.

One of the best videos in wiring a four way flasher. The instructions are very easy to follow and very well explained. Thank you for sharing.

[@ksmannie4196]

I very much appreciate all your wiring instructional videos. I have found them invaluable. I'm working on a 1972 Ford F100 in which the turn signals work great but the hazard flashers don't blink and stay on constant. It looks like the simplest solution would be to add a flasher relay to the hazard circuit. All lights are LEDs so the installed and additional flasher relays are specifically for LED bulbs. It's never a dull moment. LOL

[@WiringRescue]

It sounds like you’re on the right track for sure. The hazards and turn signals often have separate flashers because the hazard circuits have power 24/7. The turn signals only have it with the key on. Good luck! I’m cheering for you!

[@vladimirtomic]

I have almost zero knowledge of electronics and I wanted to learn something by building a simple toy for my kid. I planned to use two groups of three red blinking LEDs each for "turn signals" and three white LEDs for "headlights". I also wanted to add a couple of green blinking LEDs for the signal lights on the "dashboard" when the blinkers are on, and one blue LED for the indicator that the headlights are on. Each group of turn signals would have one switch (single throw), there would be one more for the headlights and maybe one "main" switch for the whole circuit. I also wanted to add one more LED which would be on whenever the main switch is on. So in the last few days I've been browsing youtube for useful tutorials and that's how I found this one. And I like it :). Since I have an issue with my LEDs blinking at different frequencies (and I have no idea why that's happening), I'm now thinking about using relays and making something like you did in this video.

[@steamy1225]

Now that makes sense . Wasn't sure how the big car manufacturers wired up the hazards to the turn signals . Now I know. Pretty clever.

[@WiringRescue]

This actually Isn’t how all cars are done. This is just how I do it sometimes. There are probably dozens of methods. I’m actually making another video now of another option. So stay tuned!

Couldn't you tap into the fused power coming in to power the 4 way hazard light switch DPST first then have it power the turn signal switch which is on / off / on second ? Only one switch is going to be on at one time....correct? The way you are bridging power from one side of the DPST switch to power both sides wouldn't the same thing be accomplished by having the power come into one side of a SPST switch then splitting the power coming out the other side ( pole ) of the same switch to power both sides of the turn signal switch?

Very informative... Along with your last one with how to wire turn signals, easy to follow and understand,😉👍 this Hazard video maybe even make me think about adding hazards to my classic motorcycle that didn't have them originally it only had turn signals. My only question is now how about an explanation of how to isolate that circuit for brake lights if you use the white wire we're not supposed to be minding for running lights/tail lights or parking lamps, how do you wire the brake lights up with the turn signals and isolate front for back?

[@auto-funatics7147]

This is a great simple explanation. I'd like to ask though, as I keep wondering why I can't just use a simple On/Off switch for the hazzard, because that's essentially what you've bridged the switch into isn't it? Thanx, John

[@josephcumbey1770]

Excellent training. I'm rewiring my VW SP2 and your videos have been essential to my success. Just added the hazard flasher today. One question: the blinkers only work with key on (12V ignition), but I want the hazard to work with 12V Bat (no key on required). Without 12V ign power to terminal 30 on the blinker relays, the hazards do not work. How can I set it up for key on blinkers but no key on required for hazards?

[@WiringRescue]

Thanks for watching! In many vehicles the hazard circuit is entirely separate from the turn signals. It will have two flasher too. So I guess if I were doing what you are doing, I would have a separate flasher for the hazards and it fed directly from a 24/7 power source (fused properly at the battery) going to pin 30. That way you’ll have hazards anytime with the car on or off! I think I may actually have a video showing this in my wiring playlist. Hmmm

This was a great tutorial! I have a Polaris rzr with turn signals but no hazard lights. Was there any specific reason for using a double pole switch over a single pole for the 4 way function? Only thing I could think of was amp load?

[@dratilhelvetedotlol]

You can't connect the two white wires in this system together, otherwise you will always have a 4-way flasher.

[@ValetAutoCare]

Great content! I'm hooked for sure. Is it possible to add led flashers to the automobile hazard light circuit in order to utilize the vehicle hazard switch instead of having to add an external switch? My thought is that if I could just tap into the hazard relay we could eliminate the need for an auxiliary switch.

So, can you provide clarification. I want to add flashers and hazards to my side-by-side. I looked at your video with the 4 relay setup, then I saw this one on hazards. Would would the 4 relay setup look like with hazards? What happens when hazards are on and the turn switch is applied? Thanks for your videos they are great.

[@Franisboche]

It's actually really easy. That hazard switch is bypassing the turn signal switch and going to both relays. But what if you wanted the left turn signal lightbulbs to be independent flashing?

[@dennytuma]

instead of using double pole single throw why can't you use an off on switch with 2 wires coming off each post?

[@MrZzz877]

Good idea but my motor cycle I will just complete the two white wires from the turn signal with an on off switch. Then when you activate turn signals with the on switch both relays will work. Turn the switch off back to turn signals only. Great video.

[@ehm179]

Can you use the indicator power to also power the hazard switch. So using the same feed?

[@WiringRescue]

You could! I just did it this way in the video to keep everything as simple and separated as possible. These videos can get really hard to explain if I have too many things connected together!

[@jaimevilla9142]

wow, thanks hope to fix a single turn signal that does just does not work. On another note. I've tried step down converters and resistors but everything always gets so hot. What is a safe way to drop the car voltage from 12v to 6 volts without overheating. I would like an adjustable voltage but the small step down converter gets extremely hot. I am not an electrician and am a total noob. Maybe a general resistor that I can put in series to gradualy reduce the volage or is that dumb? Thanks for your videos. I have you as my home page and hope to learn a lot from these.

Hi, I just bought a school bus and want to change the flashing lights at the top of the bus to be simply controlled by the on and off switch. I'm having trouble locating the "flasher relay", is it usually cylindrical like the one you used in this video and is it usually located in the fuse box? Thanks! I love your videos.

[@WiringRescue]

Generally they are cylindrical, but some are also black rectangles. They are almost always in or around the fuse box. I’m imagine that a bus may have a few fuse boxes though. Then again, I’ve never worked on a school bus, so I’m just guessing. Good luck on your search!

I have 5 push buttons switch as there race buttons for a motorcycle. I've used two buttons one for each indicator and have one that aint being used. I was wondering if I could use it for the hazards even though it only has two wires or would it just light both sides up every time I push the indicators on

[@freebirdsafety]

Question? I have a ford E350 cube van. all my signals work including the dash indicator light. However, when I hit the hazard lights both front and back drivers are fine. The passenger side only the back hazards work. The front end does not flash and the right-hand indicator light is out. There are only 3 wires to the bulbs ground, running and flash. So, wiring to the bulb isn't an issue. replaced with 3 different bulbs and the same issue. from this video the hazards are set up by either left and or right. If it was a switch issue, the back passenger would be out as well, correct? I am stumped as to wherte to look next. and considering its a van front end, there is NO room under the hood.

[@WiringRescue]

I wonder if your light socket is damaged in some way. if you haven’t done so already, back probe the light socket or a nearby connector with a meter or test light to see if the electricity is making it out through the wires. If not, you’ll have to dig into the opposite end of the wires near the steering column and see if the power is coming out of the switch properly (it probably is). It’s a crappy process, but you basically have to chase the electricity from the bulb back to its source to find out where it is getting lost. I’d bet the issue is somewhere near the bulb socket though. That would be the most common. Also make sure you have the right bulbs in the rear too. I know you said it works, but make sure it’s actually the right one too. The wrong bulb in a different location can cause weird issues too. Good luck! I’m sorry it’s not a super easy solution for you!

[@rowanhill4888]

Would I need a diode on each switch wire? Wondering what would happen if the hazard switch was on and the indicator switch. Wouldn't it be short?

[@robxavier]

Im working on a 1966 Ford thunderbird that came with sequential turn signals. I have regular light from the light switch and also the brake lights work. I'm trying to figure out a way to hook up Led sequential lights. So far I have used your method to create the one side of the turn signal with the led flasher which works great. Im sure using the method above will work for both sides. How can I make a pause between each of the the 3 rear left and right light bulbs. Each are 1157's So there are three 1157's on the right side and 3 1157's on the left side. I would imagine it would take perhaps a resisitor between each bulb to slow down the power before it reaches each bulb.

You didn't demonstrate the turn signals functioning after wiring in the hazard switch. What about using other switches? I have a 7 pin On/Off/On switch and a 5 pin hazard switch (dpst). Can't I use these? Okay, so it looks like I cannot use the hazard switch with 5 pins. Only 1 pin is an output. So, do you have recommendations on a particular switch that is a rocker with illuminated label?

As I think of the circuit you built i wonder would would Happen if the turn signal was activated at the same time as the hazards. Is there a risk of damaging the equipment.

[@WiringRescue]

If both are turned on at the same time, it will simply appear as though the hazards are flashing because the bulbs will be getting power from two different sources. It won’t be a problem, just a lot of flashing lights :)

[@0063mar]

@ thank you. After I sent the message I was thinking I might use pin 87a to feed the turn signal switch.

How could you potentially tap this into existing running lights. If they already get power would you have to some how just connect them to the relay circuit?

[@WiringRescue]

Make sure you have the correct bulbs. It’s very easy to put the wrong bulbs in and lose functionality. If you are 100000% sure you do, you’ll have to follow the electricity from the flasher to the rear bulbs and see where the flashing stops. Good luck! I’m cheering for you!

@@WiringRescue thank you for the quicl reply! Y You rule! I actually have signal up till the bulb socket, both for hazard and blinkers.

[@WiringRescue]

If you use a relay, it shouldn’t. If you skip the relay and run all the electricity for the lights directly through the switch, it will 100% burn up the switch because it was not meant to handle that much amperage. The beauty of using a relay is that all that amperage goes through the relay instead, and your existing switch is just turning the relay on and off. Hope that helps and good luck with your project!

@@michaelspedden1078 - there is probably an easier way to achieve your goal now that I think about it. You are really just trying to turn on all your turn signals at once… so you may just need to find your existing turn signal flasher… tap into the output of it… and send it to a double pole / single throw switch. The other side of the switch will have two output wires tapped into your turn signal wires. This would keep your cost and complexity down, and use mostly factory stuff. Do you know if your bike has a normal flasher on it, or if it is some kind of weird electric module?

[@michaelspedden1078]

@@WiringRescue hmmm, it should be a normal flasher (it's a 2014 Yamaha)..when u say tap into the output..if I push the switch to the right, the rt turn signal lights...push switch to the left and left turn signal turns on, push the button and the signals turn off.....so I believe that when I pull the switch apart, I'll have wires going to the rt and wires going to the left...am I somehow jumping them? Thanks again for all ur help!!

I am running led directional lights .Do I have to go through a relay?

[@WiringRescue]

It depends. Is your switch rated at a high enough amperage to handle the amperage draw of the light bulbs? Are the wires and flasher also rated at a high enough amperage rating for the bulbs you are using? If so - then it should be fine. The only thing to watch out for at that point would be somebody in the future adding regular bulbs in place of LED’s and it burning the circuit. If you have the fuse properly sized though, it will pop the fuse before it burns the wires or switch. Hopefully that made sense. Lol. If not, I can try again.

Can I utilize a self latching button for hazards

[@qube76]

I just installed a remote keyless entry on my car. How do I wire it so the lights flash when I lock/ unlock the vehicle?

[@xtratall100]

What amperage is the fuse?

[@WiringRescue]

I made a video for this exact fuse-size question. Here you go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5ndf2mLmdOghqMsi=9AsyidBANGt68VoN

[@SauerkrautNCheese]

What’s the purpose of the relays? Could one not wire the lights directly to the flasher? One flasher for each side?

[@roberthart2950]

I have a led flasher and I’m getting the left blinker indicator on when I turn on the parking/ headlights?

[@joshuathewelder24]

Would this work for tow lights on a lawn cart for a lawn tractor?

[@WiringRescue]

I would think so, as long as your cart has a power source.

[@joshuathewelder24]

@@WiringRescue Thank you very much

[@kaydeem5257]

Does Increasing the load accross the flasher relay not cause it to break down, as you've changed the load from 2 bulbs to four...

[@WiringRescue]

As long as the flasher is rated for the amperage going through it, it’s fine. I actually made a video on this topic, here kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5ndf2mLmdOghqMsi=zXx5TG9C1GgBEL1P

[@kylescott4888]

Hey! I followed your method here and I can't find a double throw single pole hazard rocker switch for my roxor. Would match all my other switches. I thought about buying a rocker switch with alot if poles. Long as the wiring diagram is correct then just popping the top off. Not sure What else to do

[@kylescott4888]

I think ill add a relay to the Harvard switch, that way it can send power to both signal lights

[@MrMalbolgia666]

Can I use a 3 pin SPDT switch to achieve this?

[@douglascorkum9894]

I have a 5 pin hazard switch and when I try to hook it up as per your diagram all i get is the 4 way flashers no matter what switch is on. Can you help me. Doug

[@AngelRod-nv9fd]

I need some help. What could cause everything to work except for the rear right brake light? Flashers work everywhere except the rear right. The turn signal works everywhere except the rear right BUT when I hit the brake and have the right turn signal on, the brake light works. Both filaments work when I connect them directly to a 12v power supply for the lightbulb in question. Could it be a bad turn switch or the hazard switch? Any suggestions?

[@justsayin9192]

Hi i have a question, what if something happend if you turn hazard lights and turn signal lights on together? Thx

[@WiringRescue]

That’s another circuit I’d like to make a video for. I’m guessing you’d like the hazard to turn off when the turn signal is on?

[@justsayin9192]

@@WiringRescue hi sorry for my bad english, im asking if there wouldnt be short circuit if we turn them both i don't very much on electronic i want to add hazard light to my tractor and i dont know if something bad can happend

[@satpalsidhu1236]

It’s very informative thanks.

[@anthonyproper1223]

How about when you use the left or right turn signal and the hazard lights come. What would cause that???

[@joensuguitan1515]

I was wondering what if just connect the power supply to the flasher relay and the output to the switches therefore not needing the 4or5 pin relays? Will it work?

[@WiringRescue]

It depends. If you use the wrong amperage switch, wire, or fuse, it will possibly light on fire. I always prefer less fire.

[@pywacet5002]

I have a question, I set up the lights on a tractor and I can't get it to work correctly, when I turn on the blinkers, right or left, they both flash, any suggestions, thanks

[@MichaelLococo-h4w]

I have a transit bus that has two foot button switches for each side signal. How could I connect a hazard switch in this case?
