- This circuit will produce a blinking, pulsing light signal and is perfect for use on any vehicle such as a motorcycle atv side by side ect. The speed of the light flashing can be changed by twisting the knob on the relay.

Great, now do dual function turn signal/running marker as most folks want those lights constantly on at night when turn signal/emergency flash is not in use.
Bro thank you so much for such a great short video! My truck has no blinker switch or anything in it and want to do something a little different, led lights all around so I will be using this to make mine! (1979 c10)
Very simple and clear exlannation
Easy as a piss
Good video....clean, short and most of all effective thanks 🤘🏿‼️
Thanks for the great video, l have been trying to do this on my own for several days.
My blinker has two connectors and yours has three. Where do the wires go? Thanks for your time.
thank you soo much, i was a bit skeptical on how to wire this, but you made it very easy to understand, i also found out that it does make a noise to tell you that its blinking. gave you a like!
this helped me figure out how to wire signal lights on my SXS ,not always true for the reverse wire of the light i wired my light white to + and black to - and it works fine
Fairly simple. very nice thanks.
Thanks finally somebody that explains this clearly. Thank you
I put a playlist link in the description of a complete blinker box wiring job. Glad I could help.
clear and laud brother thank you.
Thanks. This helped a lot.
Very nice video thanks sr in indeceter flasher relay connection thanks 💯
Thank you very much!
Bro your a god right now, trying to put blinkers on a customers sxs for the first time and have been my butt kicked for the last hour until now!!!
Thank you it help out alot
On my 2008 Ninja 250R they are also wired through the dash indicator. Polarity through the dash indicator is actually reversed depending on which direction your turn signal switch is in.
wish I had this 4 hours ago
THANKS BESTE
1 relay for both signal or 1 relay per side of signal
1 relay runs both together.
Instant sub after watching this video. Appreciate a simple to the point video greatly
nice simple explanation. Question: I have the same push in switch and want to use it to wire all 4 car lights to my hazard flasher. Can you suggest how to do this? Your setup uses 2 switches. Thanks.
Using a hazard independently from the other two switches: Build the same circuit then add a third switch wire it the same except it will run 2 feeder lines from the same wire terminal on the switch send one to each light. They will use the existing commons as their return. You can parallel wire more lights from there. Let me know if a video would help... Thanks for supporting the channel.
Okay I have a 2000 Mazda Miata and it's got a three terminal flasher and I'm changing it to LED and I can't find the direct plug-in one so I'm going to have to make a little wire harness and this explains everything to me how they work thank you very very much! All the terminations are in the switch on the column so all I have to do on the Flasher is get power and ground and then power up to the column on the original harness easy peasy
Does that particular Flasher draw any current if none of the Switches are turned on?
I've seen 2 pin electric flashers with just 12v input and Load pins. But since this one has a ground pin it got me wondering of it draws current? I like that it give the audible click.
The 2 pin I bought doesn't have the click noise.
I'd like to buy one of these instead but just wonder if there is a draw and if it would drain my battery.
(I'll use a hot 12v input instead of switched ign input so my hazards can work with the truck off)
I haven't measured it but I do not believe that it draws current when not in use the way it is wired in this video.
Amazing video... short and easy to understand... One quick question: Would it be possible to use an actual motorcyle turn signal switch in this circuit instead of using the regular push button in the video? If yes, can you explain how to connect the motorcycle turn signal switch to the circuit in this video... thank you
Yes you can. The switches In the video are maintained buttons. Meaning they stay on or off until they are pressed again. The same as a switch would. If you have a specific switch build the circuit and wire up the normally open contacts.
Excellent video, sir. One quick question, would it be difficult to tie this setup to the ignition switch so that the turn signals become operable only when the key is in the "on" position? In other words, which wire would connect to the ignition switch? Thank you for your patience.
Wire it to the ignition switch contacts by wiring the positive side of the battery to the ignition then from the ignition to the circuit.
You can often find switched power in the fuse box. On some bikes you can even find run power, such as headlights that only come on after you crank the starter.
How do you wire it to work with the already working ones?
Nice video. Would this work with krx original tail lights ? I tired to tap into my left tail light to turn left both tail lights started flashing ?
You may be tied into the wire with both lights in parallel which would be perfect for hazard lights. Make sure the pos side of each light is isolated from each other so it only runs a positive signal to one light at a time.
My talaria has 3 wires i have 2 pin relay do i need a 3 pin with the ground in assuming? Or cuz in missing that it seems
Some relays have an extra ground leg for a led light on them. This might be what you have. Not sure without seeing a picture.
Hey man I'm trying to install led on my Honda shadow thought about buying a heavy duty harness for led lights and replacing there relay with a flasher relay u think that would work how would I hook up my handlebar switch which are two button momentary switch thanks in advance
This circuit would work with momentary buttons. Either light would flash while it's button is being pushed. Make sure to wire them to the normally open contacts.
I got rid of my turn signal switch on my Honda Shadow and I'm trying to wire the 2 momentary switches to my harness can u help me
Sure what do you need to know?
So sequential leds signals are a huge market. Can I make my own using let's say a 5ft strip of leds and a turn signal relay?
One way this could be accomplished without a controller is that each light could have its own relay and each light relay would have a potentiometer set to a different position so that each light could be on or off for different periods of time this would require some different wiring methods than what is shown in this video. There are other ways to do this but the easiest way is to use some sort of controller so you can control the outputs for the coils of a relay for the period of time of your choosing.
Great video, well explained. I do however have a question. It looks like you have your fuse on your ground. I thought fuses were supposed to be on the positive side?
It was hooked up that way when I made the video. The fuse will still work. Normally I fuse on the positive side. Thanks for noticing 🙂
No,no black is hot right rear mister master of confusion
My golf cart turn signal control module is bad. Apparently these modules are always burning up. So I want to bypass the module using a flasher. The lights are LED, Is there a specific flasher for led lights?
The relay in this video would work just fine for that.
is that clicking coming from the relay? I have a moped and it does have turn signals is just that the relay doesnt click, so I tend to forget when I have them on, wondering if I can just switch the relay and add that clicking noise. LMK
The click is from the relay because it has moving parts inside. Solid state relays wouldn't make that sound. It is possible to change relays, but solid state relays usually last longer.
Hi mate good video. I have my bike indercators all flashing when i turn the ignition on 😮 i dont no wot is up. Would you know wot it maybe.
It depends on how it is wired.. is it wired similar to this?
Is this for LED only, or do conventional filament buls work with this relay?
As long as you don't exceed the voltage or current limit of the relay it will work for anything.
Can you point me to the orange and red lights you are using in the video?
I bought them on amazon.

trying to recreate this setup to have turn signals on my jacket. any tips?
edit: I guess I have to tap into the turn signals, right?
Parallel off the bikes turn signal to the light and other light wire back to the common.
Is the flashing relay adjustable? With the knob coming out of the top of it?
Yes it's speed control for the blink.
Whats making the clicking sound? Is that the relay?
Yes the relay contacts click when they open and close.
Good video sir ..where did you purchase the push buttons
Amazon
Great video, where can we find these parts?
I bought them off of Amazon there's a link in the video description for the relay
power source > relay > switch > lights.. right?
can it work with ep36 led flasher relay?
Check the max voltage and wattage of your device if it doesn't exceed the relays max then yes it can
@@offgridutah1 thank very much now i can light up my power chair
i was wondering. you said that you had the wires fused and i was wondering if it was necessary to have them fused? thank you. Raven
Fusing will protect your setup from mistakes or accidentally touching pos to neg. If that happens the wires will become a fuse and the insulation/wire coating will catch on fire.
thank you. if i directly wire my turn lights to my 12v motorcycle battery using the setup here without a fuse will there be too much electricity from battery and blow the turn signal bulbs or with the flasher switch only let so much electricity through? thanks. Raven@@offgridutah1
@RavenKitten it will not let to much electricity through. Lights will draw power based on their wattage. It will work. It's not safe if it the wire loses insulation... That is what will allow to much electricity through. Lights act like a resistor and only allow a finite amount of amps through.
ok thank you. that was what i was trying to figure out. what is making sure the watts and amps are correct for the lights? was it the fuse, the flasher, or the lights themselves. Raven@@offgridutah1
@RavenKitten voltage of the lights should be compatible to the battery voltage. In this case 12 volts. The fuse must burn before the wire so it's the weakest link. Watts/volts=amps.
Add up wattage of the bulbs /12 volts = amps use the amps to look at a wire size chart. Bigger wire size handles more amps. Make sure the wire can handle the amps and run while on continuously as well as the fuse, as amps get close to the fuse rating, they shouldn't be getting close to the wire size rating.
At least this makes it legal to drive on rad
Hey bro you still on here Ima need some help wiring some lights from a battery to a 03 rm85 for a mot
My main question is my indicator setup is the same how do I run a rear tail light separately but off the same loom( not flashing just on) and I’d also need to wire in 2x brake light switches so when I pull/press the levers they light up brighter as stop lights?
@@Tizzypj I don't have a video showing this. But all you need is to pull pos to an on switch that is in series with two lights that are in parallel and both lights share a negative return to the battery. This is the running lights. Next from the pos side just after the on switch create this same circuit twice one for right one for left and use a momentary switch for these 2 circuits. They will function as right and left brake.
@@offgridutah1 that’s perfect buddy I really do appreciate it obviously the same theory applies without splitting as I only have the one brake light bro
@@offgridutah1 if you get a spare minute have a look at my last vid right to the last 20/15 seconds your see my project
@@Tizzypj post a link here
I give up! I tried new flasher and new light still won’t flash.
I'm confused, another video I saw the guy had 2 relays that connected to 1 flasher. You are using 1 relay and where is the flasher?
This is just one relay it has a potentiometer to adjust the timing of how long it blinks. The right and left light circuits are wired in parallel with individual maintained switch/button.
@offgridutah1 is there any way to make that work with the oem turn signal stalk on my 1987 jeep cherokee? I also need emergency blinkers to work with my stock emergency blinker switch
@nikthepunisher6255 if you bypass what's there and wire this circuit into the stock lights it should work just make sure to use correct wire size and fuse on each circuit
Yayyy I bought this thinking it came with the battery yayy wasted my money
I can’t get lights to flash.
Try bypassing your switches and make sure the relay is working.
@@offgridutah1 does it matter what relay to use? The one that came with it is 12v max 30w. I can’t find one to match.
You can use any relay. Just need the electrical source to match the coil. When you put 12 volts on the coil it should turn your relay on.

Here's another relay as well.

No used
Could have at least used a 3 way switch to simplify this" tutorial "
Maybe in my next one I will thanks for the feedback 😊
Good video, but your speaking too fast, so If your having problems following his instructions because it's so much information,and him speaking relatively fast....just jump to last 8 seconds of the video..save your self the trouble of keep rewinding, and trying to follow his rushed instructions... everything is self explanatory from there.
Thanks for the feedback. I always try to keep things as simple as I can.
So i have an extra back up camera that i want to install on my car to replace my broken side view mirror (yes i know i could just replace it, that costs money and i already have everything else i need to do the install. And id be bored) but im trying to figure out how to trigger the camera while the turn signal is on without the screen flashing with the signal. Any advice?
You would need to use a regular relay that is triggered to turn on when the blinker gets powered and you would wire the coil as a start stop circuit with memory.
