I redid the main wiring harness again. It was about 6" shorter than it could have been and it could have been just the right length. I was also having some noise chatter in the neutral light, so I figured there were some bad connections in there somewhere. Adding six inches to a harness is almost as bad as building it from scratch. Took me about 6 hours so an hour an inch (at least I was stoned/probably why I didn't get it done faster.)
I'm running into a small electrical issue. I can't for the life of me figure out how to wire a turn signal indicator (so I'm not rocketing down the road like an old with my blinker on for 45 miles.)
I think the issue is that I'm using the M.Wave instead of a traditional flasher...I'd rather have the m.wave than the turn signal indicator, so ... I might just scrap it, but that leaves the problem of needing to find a use for a third indicator light (I already put that hole there for the dummy charge light, which was short lived as it was more annoying than useful.)
Here's what I've tried and what happens:
I tried running an inline LED before the turn switch, but after the M.wave (grounds through the switch, and the right or left signals)
my thinking was that the light would pulse with the signals regardless of side.
I got nothing out of this at all. No blinkers, no indicator
Second I tried running an inline LED between the turn signals and ground.
My thinking was that maybe moving the indicator to the ground side would work. I tried one side at a time.
what actually happened was that either the LED blinked OR the blinker blinked. It was different for the right than the left, which was super odd.
My next two guesses are to wire the indicator before the M.Wave. The indicator may be steady (which is fine) or will it restrict power to the M.Wave and make the whole turn signal system stop working?
Last, wire it up just like a 5th turn signal and figure out how to isolate R and L so that they don't all go every time I use the blinkers.
Any insights here as to what I'm doing wrong, what I might be doing right, and now to get this thing to work?
