Turn signal flasher info needed.....

[BobT-47P15]

Am trying to re-do the turn signals on the car.

The flasher unit I bought on ebay is a Chicago Auto Lamp 9000 unit

which came with NO instructions. I took it apart, looked at where

the wires fasten to it, and made some guesses......but still don't

really know which wires go where. So, am experimenting.

A 7 wire signal.

On the flasher cannister there are 3 prongs......one marked P, one

marked X, and one marked L.

I can't find the sheet that came with the flasher when I bought it,

so can't recall what those 3 letters really mean. Couldn't find a

previous post with that exact info.

I think P is for the pilot light in the turn signal.

On my previous system, power wire with fuse was attached to

X.

But, not sure where the L goes...........on the old signal diagram it

didn't explain......just said which wire connects to it.

Any info helpful. Looked on the net and couldn't come up with a

diagram for the flasher unit.

Bob, There's a guy on the HAMB that had one. Maybe check with him on the ID of the seven wires, if you haven't already. Here's the link..http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=452609

Thanks, Tommy, I hadn't seen that one. Sent the guy a message.

There was one fellow on the HAMB the other day when I asked who said he had that

model, and had to figure it out himself. I later sent him a PM, but so far

no reply. He may not have made notes about how he did it. I often

fail to make notes after wiring up something, then when someone asks

later, I don't remember just what I did.

One thing I'm discovering about these turn signals is their color schemes on wiring are

all different......no standardization that I can find.

Bob, this is the schematic for my 7-wire Signal-Stat.

Thanks Tony.

How you doing? Haven't heard from you in quite a while.

Still have your car (or cars)?

Hi Bob,

I have a NOS unit like that, in my garage, but I can't remember if it came with a wiring diagram.

It's the middle of the night here and I'm just heading off to bed.

Then I'll be at a funeral tomorrow.

Hopefully on Thursday I'll have time to take a look for you.

If I have the diagram I'll scan it and email to you.

Thanks for the offer, Robin..........saved by Dave, plyman 50..........

who PMd me about how his is wired........that did the trick.

I was wanting to get them working as I'm going to chauffeur another

bride and groom from our church to their reception at the end of the

month.

Robin, what is the significance of the big white ribbon used on the

front part of the car when a vehicle is used in a wedding......?

Just in case anyone has one of these Chicago 9000 turn signal units, here is

how the wiring goes. There don't seem to be any diagrams I could find

for these......did see some for other brands.

Yellow..........................to brake light switch

Brown...........................to left rear

Red..............................to left front

Light green.....................to right front

Light blue.......................to right rear

Black to "L" terminal on a 3 prong flasher

Orange to "P" terminal on flasher - for indicator light

Power from back side of ignition switch is attached to "X"

terminal of flasher.
