It looks to me like one pole gets constant power, one is switched, and one goes to the lights. Can you elaborate a little for me telling me which is which, and what relay I might need to buy Thanks |

> Does anybody know how to wire a basic flasher relay from scratch? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic flasher is pretty straight-forward, assuming it has its own lamps. If you're trying to emulate (or repair) the flasher module used on the early bug/bus (ie, the 'black box'), in which the flashers shared a filament with the brakes, it's a bit more difficult (a couple diodes are required). Best solution is to use Jim's schematic... and to ADD a lamp to the tail-light fixture if you are dealing with an early single-lamp design. (Be sure to match the flasher to the NUMBER of bulbs you want to flash.) -Bob Hoover PS -- I've got the circuit board layout & schematic for the DIY replacement for the 'black box' but its on 5" floppys... and I no longer have a working machine that can read them... assuming they're still good :-) |

(It had a massive 10MB hard drive). I was not able to find a 5" boot disk to fix the boot sector and get the thing running. So I gutted the damn thing and meant to build a modern pentium inside it. Some frame cutting would have been required. It had a matching old skool CGA monitor too, which I was going to convert as well. Sadly I had to abandon the project. I wanted to retain teh 5" drive too just for kicks. Jan |

I also have a couple of the later 1.2m 5 1/4" floppy drives in case I ever need one but I haven't needed one in more than a few years. I might plug one in one of these days for ****s and giggles and to see if any of my stash of old disks are readable. Some years back City Liquidators in Portland, OR had a pallet sized crate of 8" floppies for free siting out front. Kids were tossing them like Frisbees. Tony |
