Title: I want to add a 4 Way hazard Flasher Circuit to my Ranchero,I need a schematic.
Post by: KYBlueOval on 2021-03-02 06:43
I want to build a 4 Way Hazard Flasher Circuit for my Ranchero. I'm using a '57 Thunderbird Column with a '59 Ford turn signal switch, so there are no OEM provisions for such a circuit with what I'm using.

Does anyone on the Forum have a 4 Way Hazard Flasher schematic they would share?

Has anyone else made this addition and if so how did you do it?

Thanks
John

John I will work one up and send it to you.  Yup, put it up here too.....:<)

OK, after looking around I found this diagram that will make having 4 ways in our old systems easier.  Each of the out put wires from the relay will feed the turn lights when the relay turns on.

John, I'm not sure what those kits involve, but on my '53 truck I hooked a toggle switch between the front turn signal light wires.  With the switch in the "off" position, the turn signals operate normally.  With the switch in the "on" position, and the turn signal lever turned to either right or left, all four lights flash.   John

I really like it. That is so simple. Great idea.
Thank you!

Signal Stat, Dietz and Yankee made nice kits to do this.

I don't know if they are current but, you should be able find one. We installed a lot of them on medium duty trucks before they became standard.

Good luck,

Ron.
