Re: HELP!!! I'm in turn signal hell

You wrote that you hookedd up with:
B -- 22 (Correct)
E -- 22/460 (Correct)
L -- 22/461 (Wrong, s/b hooked to 461)
K -- 460 (Wrong, s/b hooked to 22/461)
J -- 461 (Wrong, s/b hooked to 460)
24V hot lead to 460/461...if this is the wire that is 24 volt hot directly from the 3 lever light switch and only hot when the top levver is moved to a position of ther than top center, then this is ORIGINAL WIRE A in the above post and s/b hooked to 460/461 as you have listed.
The other wires are not needed anymore as they were wires that connected between the turn signal switch and the DB...those wires are:
B, C, D, E, F, G
REMEMBER that there are, were in your case once upon a time, 2 wires at the DB labeled as B and 2 labeled as E.
One of the B wires and one of the E wires were wires that went directly to the Sparton turn signal switch.
The other B wire should have come directly from the 3 lever light switch to the DB...this is the brake switch signal to light the brake lights. If I remember right you had something added in this circuit...dont need it if you have a stock pressure switch and a stock 3 lever light switch. If you take the cannon plug off of the rear of the 3 lever light switch you should be able to see the letters of the pins on the socket next to their holes. The one for wire B at the DB is pin C at the 3 lever light switch...so if you find continuity between pin C at the 3 lever and a wire at the other end, thats the one that we want connected to wire 22 in your new trn signal setup.
The other E wire should have originally had a ring trminal on it, then, after leaving the DB, would have run into the wire harness and exited the harness again on the drivers inner fender, terminating in a female connector as wire 22/460...that end is already plugged to a rear harness wire where it should remain. If you got the connection harness from Star Electric, there should be a 22/460 wire...the end of this wire E should have the ring terminal cut off, if yours still has it, and a new male end made onto there, then plug that new male end into the new female end on the new connection harness.
Let me know if this helps....
I remember you had some kind of circuit breaker in the system...thanks EL for the ID...I would remove anything but the wirs mentiuoned on the page I linked...the system doesnt need them and it may be preventing things from working right...simpler is better because its complicated enough!!
Hoping this works, though expecting more questions!!
