hi there are 2 stickies at the top of the electrical page with diagrams for whole car and for alternator you wil just have to modify slightly for your indicator set up by putting the indicator switch before indicator unit then will be a non flashing supply which you can take to trafficators then also take to 2 indicator units and then to the normal indicators this is the only way i can think to do it unless anyone else has done something similar, only downside is you need 2 indicator units , if you anywhere near me i could help

[tim_jnv]

cheers which wiring loom would you suggest i go for?

[bigjim]

just drawn this out , not the best but hope it helps, if it usefull moderators might want to add it to the stickies nearly forgot it will also need left and right warning lights , you can make 1 warning light work by taking feed from left and right indicators to opposite sides of same warning light and not using an earth on it

The wiring diagrams are at the top of this section!

[bigjim]

the request was for a diagram for traficators and indicators unless im mistaken the loom diagram doesnt show that, i thought the idea of posting was to be helpful/constructive

[bmcecosse]

Jim - somehow my post seemed to come after your diagram - I don't know how, I didn't see it when I posted. Your diagram does show a way to do the job and will be fine as long as two flasher units are acceptable. I don't think there is any need to be quite as nippy!!! I never let the forums become personal.

[bigjim]

so since youve edited your last post am i on your naughty list as ive noticed other peoples comments about your negative posts too

[bmcecosse]

I realised the fault was somehow mine - having not seen your diagram - although I don't know how !

There is a wiring diagram for indicators/trafficators on http://seriesmm.mmoc.org.uk Trafficator/indicator wiring diagram
Note that the car should be wired neg earth with an alternator

[bigjim]

why neg earth and alternator?

[bmcecosse]

Because 99% of all alternators are for -ve earth use. Only v early (and now hard to find) 11 AC were ever available for +ve earth use.

[bigjim]

but why neg earth and alternator for traficator and indicators

[bmcecosse]

Absolutely nothing to do with trafficators - or indicators.....

[bigjim]

this is what i was asking mike.perry says it needs to be neg earth and alternator for traficators and indicators

[bmcecosse]

I think you are mis-interpreting ... It needs to be -ve earth for an alternator........ Otherwise - no matter (except for wireless etc,,)

Because Tim in the original post is asking for a wiring diagram for 'alternator with trafficator and flashing indicators'

do you want to build your own loom or are you going for a pre built replacement one

[bmcecosse]

You won't find a loom with both trafficators and indicators - so you will need an alternator loom , which will come with indicators -and then add in the trafficators. I dare say someone will make you a special loom - but at some cost. If it was me - I would either patch up the loom you have, or make a new loom myself - it is one of the simplest cars and it's not difficult to make a loom.
