4 Way flashers in a oval??

[volksauto]

I want to hook up 4way flasher"s in my oval. I need to know how to wire it.

VW basically had two ways of doing it - either a large relay with a fairly simple dash switch that would connect all 4 lights together and to a flasher relay, or by a more complicated dash switch and a basic flasher relay that would do it. On an oval with the tail-lights set up like the Bus was, you could go with the setup they used on Busses. Is yours 6V or 12V?

I'd like to hook mine as follows:

"a more complicated dash switch and a basic flasher relay that would do it."

Any wiring diagrams out there or what parts are needed? links to the part would be helpful.

I was waiting to find out if he was wanting to do it 6V or 12V before I posted parts links and diagrams. (when I first replied, I was also out of town in a motel room and didn't feel like digging that info up at that time as well)

My oval is 12v. I have a 4way flasher switch from a bus. hooked it up but when I turn on the blinkers all of the lights flash and when I turn on the 4 way flashers the I get the same result.

I'm working on this right now, I'll have some info and a diagram up in a few minutes here.

Okay, sorry it took me a while to answer this. Had to draw up a diagram and get some links for parts and such.

Thanks Andy....will give it a try when I get the switch.

Thanks for the info

Got it to work like a charm....Anyone know where I can get the bulb for the switch??

If it's 12 volt thats gonna be a N0177512, same bulb as in late model Golf/Jetta heater and A/C control panels, among other things. So most dealers should have it.

putting 4 way flashers in a oval is a stupid idea. you're going to drill your dash and put a out of place looking switch that will just decline the value of your oval. no one is going to notice if you have them on unless you put superbeetle lights. don't waste your time with that modern safety crap.

I asked the question if anybody had wired up 4 way flashers because
I all ready had a hole in my dash for a choke. I have installed a 1600 dual port motor and it has a electric choke . as for value of my car or any safety crap that you might not notice your imput was a waste of time. The short of it, I am tring to fill a hole in the dash not cut another one and I have some extra parts from a 67, and one of the switches is a 4 way flasher switch.

sombody else had already cut a hole in the dash for an emrgency flasher...just filling in the hole.
