H20doctor Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) So i am installing new tail lights from Ebay ... got the set up from the Philippines ... Here is the question ... Main plug Has 4 wires .. black (ground)... Green... Green/white.. Red the New set up Has 4 Bulbs ... As of now the Green wire runs the brake and turn signal ... Red wire ? green/white ? no clue both the turn signal and 1 of the brake red sections come on at the same time when applying the brakes and using the turn signal ... I know I can run 12 volts to the back red side markers for my night time running Red rear tail light. So here is the question .... I want the Amber Orange turn signals to come On separately when i use my turn signals ... I know this needs to be done Up on the steering Column somewhere on the turn signal soldier board.. How do Isolate the trurn signal wire to not be shared with the Brake Light ? thanks IM Edited August 5, 2019 by H20doctor Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I don't think this is possible.The steering column switch disconnects the brake signal on the side that is turning, allowing the flasher to work. You would need to bring wires from both amber lamps up to the front and connect to the front signal wires. Then remove the switch in the column that disconnects the brakes. The 620 uses two brake light bulbs. (both shared with the signal when not used) Now you will have less light when signaling or braking and no back up if one burns out. Quote Link to comment

So what Is the red Wire For off the Tail light Plug ? reverse Light Also another question .... What If i ran a spliced wire Off of the Turn signal Flasher .. Under the Dash ... The Silver 3 Pronged Cylinder .... theres Got to be a way to re route a Blinker voltage signal ... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Red/Black stripe is reverse lamps. Running a wire to the flasher? how would it know L from R? Connect each side to the front signals. (Green/Black is right and Green/Red is left) What ever the front does the rears would now do without the brake interfering. 23 hours ago, datzenmike said: You would need to bring wires from both amber lamps up to the front and connect to the front signal wires.

datzenmike Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Flashers are two prong. One side to power, the other to the turn signal. The turn signal selects and switches L&R side lamps to the flasher. One flasher works both turn signals. Simple. Quote Link to comment
H20doctor Posted August 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 thats not a stock flasher ... mine has 3 tabs Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Then yours isn't stock. Either way if the flasher works it works both sides selected by the turn signal arm. There is no left and right flasher. Quote Link to comment

G-Duax Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 That's the way I get into trouble on car forums all the time..... You need to add this after such statements: (Joke!), that way , people like Mike will get it. (Joke!) Quote Link to comment
H20doctor Posted August 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) yep .... I know ..sorry guys So has anyone done a different type of Turn signal conversion for the 620 truck ? using some other type of Flasher , or re wire Set up from the steering Column ?

Eric Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 isn't there another Datsun which uses the same style of switch that fits the steering column? Quote Link to comment

Could you just delete the brake trigger from going through the turn signal switch? Then you can just run a single wire from the pedal switch to the brake lights.... I would think the turn signals would flash properly since it would never see the brake signal..... Quote Link to comment
5t341tH Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I've done this mod already. strip the black sheathing back a bit. follow the green/white wire down and it should be spliced into the green wire. cut that off and run a dedicated wire from the brake light switch at the pedal and connect to it.

H20doctor Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 so i figured out what im going to do to have the new rear lights all work... I went to Vetco in Bellevue and bought 2 switches .... im going to mount one for the left signal and the other for the right Inside the turn signal steering column... the turn signal lever will trip the switch, then thrown that voltage into a flasher , then out of the flasher to the rear signal lamp Quote Link to comment
