Switch wiring

[David53]

I have fitted flashing indicators to my 53 Series II as a safety measure. Currently using a standard three way switch which is working fine. However, I have picked up one of these old Trafficator switches and would like to use this switch instead as it is more in keeping with the period (plus it has an indicator light in the middle)



Can anyone help with wiring up this switch for flashing indicators? Basically I have:

1: 1 Cable - 12 Volt from battery
2: 2 pairs of cables from flasher unit (front and rear flasher units). Each pair currently joined and going to one side of current switch
3: Cable from terminal of flasher can which is meant to go to a panel light but not currently wired up.

The back of this old switch has six terminals, with 4 of them numbered 2,3,4,5. Can anyone help with which terminals I would use to wire up the flashers and also the indicator light?

Thanks!

We discussed a similar set up here http://www.mmoc.org.uk/index.php?name=P ... ic&t=24160 if this helps at all.....

Go to http://seriesmm.mmoc.org, click on tech. info, scroll down to combined wiring diagram for indicators and trafficators, which provides the neatest solution. If you have trouble getting the ind. warning light to work get back to me.

If you can take the bracket off the switch and photo the other side I should be able to tell you which wires go where.
Or look at the wiring diagram on page N28 of the workshop manual. You may have to put a wire between terms 1 & 2 to get the warning light to work
