I’m not from Missouri, but when it comes to electrical stuff, their state motto of “The Show Me State” describes me. (I usually build a demo of stuff on the bench, so I can see it, not just a drawing on paper.) So, at the risk of being obnoxious, here are some more questions for you all to ignore or laugh at. First, I’m talking 6 volt system here – not interested in switching to 12 VDC. Re: signal flashers Thermal (bimetalic) vs Electronic? (I think I will NOT be using LEDs any place – don’t really like the looks of them, but for the signal indicator lights, with a single LED, maybe.) I watched a video on You Tube about the pluses & minuses of each, and wonder what you all have used in a 6 VDC system. (2 or 3 terminal, etc.) Re: Relays From what I understand, the signal switch will last longer, and can be a physically smaller switch, if the system incorporates relays, instead of sending all that current through the switch itself. Regarding the size of the switch, if a relay is used, could a signal switch from a 12 VDC automobile be used in a 6 VDC system? Re: 4 wire vs 7 wire signal switches Am I correct in assuming that the main difference is that the former connects both front & rear signal lights on the same wire, and the latter separates front & rear? What about the signal terminal lights – are they typically on yet another set of wires, like on a separate part of the switch?

Decided to tear into my turn signal switch on my 49 plymouth, As it had stopped working awhile ago, and recently started smoking while ignition was on!! I'd rather have a car WITH turn signals, as opposed to a car without turn signals and burnt to the ground. My beginner soldering skills produced a success this time Dont know how to make thse pictures smaller.... they look pretty large in my browser. two of these wires are hanging on by just a strand, causing all kind of shorts etc. the black one (power lead?) isnt even connected and was grounding to the body. the finished product before intallation
