    Turn Signal Wiring

    I have the Ron Francis Wiring Harness that came with my complete kit. I also have Russ Thompson's Turn Signal System, and an extra Green T/S Indicator Light. I would like to use the Push Button on the end of the T/S Stalk for the Horn. That appears relatively easy to wire. However, I would also like to keep/utilize the 2 Toggle Switches for the Hazard & Hi/Low Beam Lights. Is there a simple way to wire Russ's System into the harness to make it all work? In other words, do I still need those extra Diodes & Relays, or is there a way to make this easier?
    Thanks in advance, Rod

    The RT turn signal system adds nothing to your circuits other than two switches. Using the momentary button on the end of the stalk instead of the momentary horn button on the dash is no different. Same for the switching mechanism for the L/R turn signal in the RT assembly vs. using a switch on the dash.

    Bottom line, the diodes are still needed to keep the hazards from back feeding into the turn signals and the relay is still needed to give high/low beams.

    Also, this thread would probably get more views/responses in the regular Roadster area vs. the build directory.
