Great! Glad you got it figured out.

That's strange. The feed from the ignition switch should be nearly the same voltage as the direct feed. If it's dim, then that could indicate that the voltage on the ignition switch is low for some reason. It could be a bad connection somewhere or dirty contact on the fuses.

If there are other symptoms, like idling rough etc. then you may want to look further into the voltage at the ignition switch (versus what's on the battery).

Glad it's working anyway.

Would be a good Idea to take a moment and use the Diagram, Cut and Paste to say Paint, then draw what changes were made for the system to work, add the flasher part #, resistor value, etc. Then post that for the next guy, who hopefully will use the search function. :laugh:
Anyway glad you have signals, did I read only on the back? :(

Sorry it took so long guys!

had to try about a hundred times to catch it with the light on lol.

I have a set of brackets ordered that i should be able to mount on in the same place and just glue the LED strip inside of but for now the zip ties will do.

In the pic of the on/off/on switch you can also see the flasher zip tied behind a bracket on the frame

Let me know what you think!
