Hi gang...
I'm undoing 50 years of wiring bodges under the dash in my 73.
Can someone please show me where these wires coming from the turn signal switch connect? This isn't shown in any wiring diagram i have.

(I can't find light blue on any diagram at all)

I have brown, black, light blue, black/white, and black/green all in a harness coming from the turnsignal switch.

I'm using a 3 prong flasher/relay from Jbugs.

Guidance and/or pics appreciated!
Thanks!
Josh

J2 is the relay. E3 is the hazard light switch. E2 is the signal switch portion of the column switch (combined signals/headlight dimmer).

Seems like your column switch is wrong? Colours don't map. Or is that possibly the wiper switch you have there in the photo?

With a 3-pole relay it •might• work? Probably you won't have the indicator light in the speedo blink with the signals.

Not quite sure what you are looking for, but maybe this will be helpful.
53's are wipers, 49's are turn signals.

That's it!
Mine only has the pin block at the column..everything else has been bastardized. This should put me on the right path.
Thank you!
