turn signal switch

[chris 48 P15]

i lost turn signals

checked light bulbs, wiring, replaced flasher, hot-wired to turn signal switch

removed switch it seems to not make contact inside switch

any info for parts or something else to check 

cant pass inspection without signals ny law is if the car has it installed it must work

[DJK]

I installed a signal stat 900 which also includes 4 way function

The Signal Stat is a good option if you don't need self-cancelling. At the very least it would get you through inspection. Here is how I connected mine to the car's harness.

 

 

 

 

I think it looks right at home on the column even though it isn't stock.

I'd like to install turn signals pretty soon. Is there a comprehensive tutorial that anyone is aware of?

Thanks

Andy

 

[chris 48 P15]

looks like the signal stat is my option 

 

 

[Plymouthy Adams]

did you prove your flasher and bulbs with by-passing of the switch and or read the switch with an ohm meter....I see your comment hot wire to the switch but nothing on bypassing it. 

[chris 48 P15]

tested and replaced bulbs

flasher worked tested out of car

i took the switch apart in the first set of pictures the second

i broke down that piece cleaned and reset but no contact

i will look for this part i have options as far as the whole switch is concerned 

so I'm going to continue to play with it

Not aware of a tutorial, just ask questions here. 

 

Here is the wiring diagram for the Signal Stat switch.

 

 

 

You will need adapters so you can put double filament bulbs in the tail and parking lights for signals/brake and tail/parking light functions.

I was fortunate to find a P15 that received engine overhaul, paint and interior in the '80's. Saved me thousands of $$$$'s, and good argument for buying a nice car up front and getting the benefit of other people having spent their dollars. 

 

Took me a good part of a year to achieve a reliable driver but at least I started out with good bones.

yes maybe better to buy a finished car to enjoy driving it sooner

Sam, I removed my self cancelling switch and installed the Signal Stat 900 mainly for the 4 way function. I have my wife to tell me my turn signals are still on!!!!

I'm sure she can tell you a lot of other things, too!    ?

 

I put a bright LED where one of the radio knob blanks were and can see it readily. So I only leave the signal on occasionally.  ?

 

The LED can be seen through the steering wheel under the radio blank.

I see he runs his pedals 1/4 turn from stock, I like mine that way too.

[DonaldSmith]

The diagram has parts of letters missing.  I think the word is "battery", not RATTFRY, although that would be an interesting accessory.

I didnt even know that was an option! Thanks for pointing it out!

In NY, directional signals are not an inspection item for 1952 and older cars and if it is installed it cannot be cause for a rejection. NYS Motor Vehicle Inspection Regulation CR 79.21 pages 42 and 43.

i read the cr 79.21 you are right 

i was under the impression that if it is installed it must work to pass

was this ever the rule 

i guess the shop needed my business

As do I

I have a very bright LED green light on the turn signal switch body. Most of the time I remember to turn them off. No sound just a blinking light. The sound would be useless to me. I am hard of hearing to start with and our car has a 1960s glass pack on it. I would guess that most if not all of the fiberglass have long since been destroyed so I am running a straight pipe that ends just behind the front passenger. I have got no chance of hearing anything.
