This is how I would wire an LED turn signal indicator circuit without using relays. Some people also call these lights directionals or blinkers ("Blinkahs" in Boston). This circuit diagram can be used for a hotrod, car, truck, motorcycle, ATV, dirt bike, side by side, or whatever kind of vehicle needs a left and right turn signal. It is a 12 volt circuit and it is meant to use 1157 / 2057 style LED bulbs.
Below is a list of the LED turn signal flashers, fuses & fuse holders, the 1157 / 2057 style bulb sockets, the LED bulbs, the 3 way toggle switch, and the single throw double pole switch that I used to make the entire turn signal circuit work properly.
Items used in the turn signal circuit (You may not need to buy in these quantities, but I did.)
🔗 10 Pack of Fuse holders - amzn.to/3cU4CoD
🔗 4 Pack of LED Bulbs (1157 style) amzn.to/3gcNV8G
🔗 6 Pack of 1157 Bulb Sockets - amzn.to/3jtztJU
🔗 3 Way Toggle switch (Diff brand than video) - amzn.to/3abAeDw
🔗 2 Pin LED Turn Signal Flasher amzn.to/3yW8vBx
🔗 272 piece fuse variety pack amzn.to/3k48cNt

In the Old Days, When A Bulb burned out, It stopped flashing. Like a Resetable Circuit Breaker. New Flashers(Electronic) Do a Quick Flash when a Bulb burns out. Resistance Added to LED's can Make them Work. When Outdoor Led Flood lights came out, The Resistance(Load)was So Low, wouldn't Work With Motion Detectors, I would Add A Small Relay So the Resistance of the Coil was enought to make them Work correctly. Didn't use Relay Contacts, Just the Coil to increase the Load, Worked Good.

@AztecWarrior69 Жыл бұрын
You don't need 2 different flashers to do this. Just look at most vehicles, they only have one flasher. As far as the hazards needing to be useable when car is off, that's just a matter of running the power through either the ignition or direct and you use a DPDT switch instead of the DPST. Add two diodes. Add four more diodes if you intend to be able to use the turn signals as brakes.

I am trying to improve the wiring on my karmann ghia. I get 13.5v at the battery and the generator. but in the front of the car I only get 10v. so my lights are very dim. I am going to rewire it one circuit at time using your videos. FANTAST by the way. Because I have some issues would it be dumb to not ground each circuit on the car and run a wire back to the fuse area? That way if there is an issue somewhere grounding the battery/ motor/ chassis at least my lights will be 100% when I can get higher voltage to the front of the car. (motor in the back) I really appreciate these videos.

Hi Michael! You can absolutely run ground wires all the way to a fuse panel or ground distribution block. That being said, that is how British cars were wired for about 50 years and they are well hated for overly complex wiring! If I were there helping you out, I’d make sure the chassis and engine were both grounded well from the battery, and then ground all the lights right to the chassis. You may have to clean paint/undercoating off of the chassis to get hood grounds, but it is a lot less wire to do it this way. Also - old light sockets are a common cause of problems. Don’t be afraid to buy brand new bulb sockets for your bulbs so they have a good, clean connection to the bulbs. Good luck! I’m rooting for you!

Do these LED flashers draw any current when the Signals/ Hazard switches are turned off? I'm thinking of the Hazard flasher in particular ,being connected to constant 12v. Since the LED flashers aren't Load Sensing, I assume they are always On (Always flashing)? If so, any chance they pull current before the Hazard switch directs the flashing 12v signal to the Marker lights? Hope that makes sense!
@ElectraJetProp
@ElectraJetProp Жыл бұрын
No, they don't because the circuit is open, not complete. The flasher has 12V coming in, but the three-way switch is in the middle position (open), that way the circuit is incomplete and thus no current flow. Another way to see it is a bulb that is connected to battery positive but not grounded: you have no complete circuit and no current flow. Much like those horn circuits with two wires going into the horn diaphragm because unlike most other automotive components, they are ground-switched instead of battery-positive switched.

You can: you'll need a distribution block from the hazard flasher load side splitting to both halves of the turn signal lights. Remember that some installations have a fender turn signal light as well, and most will have a dash indicator as well, so you'll need to keep that in mind when calculating your loads.

You probably had discovered it by now but, they are taking the flasher signal to the feeds of the switch.

​@@ramirosuarez9537 No, the flasher signal comes from the hazard flasher to the DPST switch via the yellow wire. Tha hazard flasher is directly below the DPST switch.

5:10 and what about the ignition switch? Can this handle these amps because the ignition switch triggers also other accesoiries? Lets say you have 3 LED turn signals, front/rear/side and interior LED's

So, on an old ford truck I wanted to add hazards. Is ran fused full time power to a latching pushbutton switch that then is connected to a electronic flasher relay. Then I ran a wire from the relay load pin to the turn signal signals in series.. System seemed to work, but then I tried the turn signals. They apparently used the hazard connection wires to activate all the turn signals. Do I need to put diodes in the turn signal feeds? Or?

When I put on my blinkers (left or right), my 4 ways go on because the white wires are feeding back to the single pole throw double pole switch. Do I need a diode on the white wires going back to the double pole switch so electricity only flows one way?

Yes, you have to make sure the fuses and wires are sized appropriately for the circuit. I have a variety of other videos showing this if you would like to take a look.

I think you meant to say that this circuit is designed around single-filament 1156 bulbs but you used 1157. With yellow blinkers there's no way you can use those for park or stop lights.

What would cause the flasher to click constantly? So everything works, flashes the way it supposed to but when I turn the switch to off the flasher(led) continues to flash without the lights flashing.

Can use 25-30a toggle switches with no relay if your load will only be 12a? I know I'm "supposed to use relays", but it's usually said that's because the toggle switches aren't made to handle that load...

Yes! As long as your switches and wiring can handle the load, you don’t necessarily need any relays.

You could, as long as your switch is rated for the proper amperage for the circuit. If not, you’ll burn out the switch for sure. Maybe even light the switch on fire.
