Wiring diagram for turn signals using solid state flasher?

Post by powerwagontim »

Hi all.
I have had the M37 on the road for a couple of weeks now, and having a blast driving it. I have put on just over 400 miles so far and it is working great!
One detail left to sort out is my turn signals. I used a set of Sid Beck's Greek harnesses, and using a reprint of a writ-up on adding turn signals, opened up the harnesses and added in wires as per the write-up. I am using the Solid State flasher, and the military switch. I have the correct harness to go from the switch to the flasher, and the other various wires that connect into the harness. Everything is connected, but I get no action from anything. I have the M37 wiring diagram blown up and mounted on a piece of plywood, but it shows the older style of relay box. Does anyone have a PDF of the diagram with the Solid State flasher? I think troubleshooting will be a lot clearer if I am using the correct diagram!
Thanks,
Tim

You see, this is one of the reasons I suggested we have a section on this site for diagrams, photos etc.
If it was all in one place it would be great for reference.

Come on Admins !! :D

Stu, Take a look at my two m38/M38A1 web sites and forums. The bulk of the M series goodies I have put up there applies equally to the M37.

I used a Painless Performance harness on mine, and my multimeter did the majority of the work....

Greetings All,Cuz I wanted to thank you for posting the wiring diagram/instructions for the turn signal system. Org. Maint. Manual TM 9-2320-212-20 has good complete vehical wiring diagrams for the M-37 and 43 B1's,but they're a jumble of circuits hard to focus on when you're actually doing the work,even when enlarged.This purpose made diagram is so much simpler and direct,it's easily recognizable to see where everything starts and ends.I have mine and a friends truck to put the systems in and this will make things much easier.Great post,much appreciated,Chris.
