signal wiring. Auto lamp 9000
« on: November 17, 2016, 03:35:13 PM »
I'm adding signal light switch etc to our 51. I looked at the wiring diagram in the parts list but it does not show if the connections under the dash to the stop lights are split so a I can just plug the left and right leads from the switch to them. I still haven't decided what I will do for the front lights. Thanks again for all your help, Henry

There is a junction on the brake light wire line under  the dash. You can disconnect it and tap into the signal lights.
If you have the Henry J wiring diagram, it's on it.
I've attached a copy with it highlighted.   Open the file and zoom in to see it.

THANKS again Fid. Looks like only one feed to the brake lights so I will have to add one wire to the back. :)

Here is a front park/ signal light diagram that a fellow on the HAMB posted for me.

Yes, that will work with the diodes, but the parking lamp is only 3 CP, so the front turn signal won't be very bright.  The right way is to replace the parking lamp sockets or the spring loaded phenolic socket disc with a two terminal type and use 21/3 CP dual bulbs.  I am  using the super bright 1154 bulbs available on eBay.  The super bright bulbs work great thru the dark red glass tail lamp assemblies also.

Russ, Big Dave and I both did that.  Here's the thread if anyone is interested.  New two terminal sockets were part of the  signal light kit which KF offered for the Henry J.
