wiring a signal switch in a 56 ******
I am wiring the signal lights into a 56 ****** pu. The spartan signal
switch has seven wires coming out. 4 go to front and back, left and right
turn lights, two go to the flasher which leaves one wire for the brake
lights. This wire (brown) shows continuity with the two rear turn light
wires when the signal switch is in the neural position. It shows continuity
with left light when the signal switch is in right turn position and
opposite when switch is in left turn position. This is all as it should be
except that when I wire it in to the truck, it does not work correctly. I
have a functioning brake switch on the master cylindar but when I connect
this to the brown lead into the switch, nothing happens. I cant get the
brake lights to work and dont know what to do next. It is all the more
maddening because I have been four years working on this truck, I am almost
finished but I cant go anywhere until I get this issue worked out. Anybody
got an idea - otherwise, Im thinking of joining a monestary an renouncing
all material posessions.

Re: wiring a signal switch in a 56 ******
You're telling me your brake light switch is not working, or
there's no power to it. Hydraulic switches don't last but about ten
years, max and many times are the cause of a fire.

Alan, can't help with your specific problem but here's some links that
may help you on your way to en-Lighten-ment :).
An really Really REALLY neat explanation of how they work-

Typical early jeep wiring diagram for signals-
http://www.film.queensu.ca/cj3b/Tech/SignalWiring.html
A message from The Good Doctor on identifying which wire is which on
which widgit-
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/.../message/68732
A search on the ****** Tech Google list (I'm shocked & amazed you're
not a member :( ) turns up a lot of messages from people who have been
where you're going (either Left or Right ;) )
Good Luck,
