imtb Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 My 71 510 has blinking side lights, except the front parking lights will not blink. The side marker lights blink when I turn on the turn signal, but dont light up with the parking lights on. The front parking lights work but the turn signals dont work. Anybody had these problems before. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 a prior owner rewired your lights to do that. They probably just took the signal wire and ran it to the side marker instead. That would give you the results you just described. Quote Link to comment
imtb Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 If I switch the wires from the side markers to the front parking turn signals lights, maybe my front turn signals will work. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 http://www.miata.net/garage/sidemarker_turn_signals.html Here's how to wire them up but ignore the wire colors on it. The signal wire for the front right or left turn is the Green/Black stripe wire. Connect the side marker Black (ground) wire to that. The back markers can be wired up too. Bleach... the flashing side marker lights were used on the 510 outside Canada and US. Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I wired up my 510 to have side marker blink. It alternates between the front marker to side marker. very simple to do. A write was done from DQ a while back. It increases visibility to your ride. Will be doing the same to my 521 soon. I would post here but there's thing called copy rights. Unless DQ editor is on this list and ok with it. Quote Link to comment
