Who made this turn signal switch and how do I wire it?

I can't find out who made this switch and I need a wiring diagram, it has six wires.

 

Neat switch, it'd probably wire like a signal-stat:

Very cool I've never seen one like it and I have a fetish for them.

You need to understand how they work and use a continuity testing device to figure out how this one is wired and what color wire does what. There was no standard colors for the different wires. AFAIK. Study some of the diagrams to understand the flow of the electricity for each direction. Once you understand this then you will be able to wire it with any color wires you want.

 

Auto Lamp,

three wire

must be one hot, one right and one left

 

I have the same switch. Because yours was chromed, the manufacturers info was ground off of a small raised pad adjacent to the mount. It was made by Auto Lamp, Chicago Ill. Mine is color coded Green,Brown,Yellow,Black,Red,Blue.

 

I must have an earlier version?
mine only has three wires

 

yellow
red
black
blue
green
brown?

all cloth covered

 

cool, yours must cancel out the brake lights on the rear circuit
for running all four corners
I might have to get creative to run front and rear

I think they are one of the best looking switches made
I looked for a long time to find one in decent shape I could afford

I stripped the paint, sanded out most of the scratches and gave it a quick pollish
and made a simple strap to clamp it to the column

 

Tried and true.

 

cool collection tommy!

 

There's one of these Auto Lamps on that auction site right now. Search "vintage chevy dodge turn signal switch assy". 1 bid, $19.99, 5 days left.

 

I saw that but no details.

 

btt, need help

 

found this on line for the Auto Lamp 9000
it is Auto Lamp and the same colors as yours
with the exception of the pilot light
it might be a good place to start

Brown -LR bulb
Green -RF bulb
Yellow -Brake switch
Blue -RR bulb
Red -LF bulb
Black -L supply flasher
Orange -P pilot lamp flasher

 

Paul based on the picturesof the Auto Lamp 9000, it does not look like mine at all.

 

I realize it is not the same unit
but being from the same manufacturer with the same colors I would start there and use tommy's advice and test circuits to confirm

 

Thanks Paul, thats a good starting point.

 

Very cool piece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I second (or third) the suggestion to do the continuity test. I have an OE turn signal in my car but all the wires had been cut. I am not the brightest guy around but after a while of tinkering with the multimeter I was able to determine which wire (or in this case terminal) did what. I am in the process of re-wiring my whole car so I have been doing some wiring diagrams to remember what I have done...here is the picture of the results of my continuity tests on mine...you should be able to do the same thing with yours to figure out how it works...

 

Looks to be correct, must have either another set of contacts for the pilot bulb or two diodes that "or" the two front signals together to form the pilot bulb power.

 

FYI, I got them working and am posting it for others. Mine is a 6 wire and I don't know the model but Auto Lamp seems to be the maker.

Black.................Flasher
Red.................Left side
Brown or Grey...Left side
Blue...............Right side
Green ............Right side
Yellow...Stop light switch

On mine it didn't matter which was used for the front or rear as long as it was that side. The case needs grounded for the indicator light to work. Since I am running 1950 Buick tailights with two seperate bulbs to a side I did not need the stop light wire. I hope this helps someone.

 

I have a 1941 Ford and want to fit turn signals to the car.

I also a ( 4 wire ) Yankee 630 model turn signal switch on the shelf - it is in great condition and I hope it will work on the car -which brings to me the question.

The 41 has fender driving lamps ( now converted to turn signal lamps ) - the rear are the factory set-up stop lamps.

Does anyone know if I can use this ( 4 wire ) Yankee turn signal switch on my 41 and not add extra turn signal lamps to the rear ( I prefer to only have the factory tail lamps - with no added dedicated lamps on the rear - for cleaner look.

Thanks
John
