1. Insert screws into anchors.

2. Insert assembled anchor screws into slots in switch. Do

not tighten.

3. Bend strap end through and around clip. Engage clip

between anchor and switch housing.

4. Hold switch against steering column in desired position

and bend strip around column. Scrape paint from column

under strap to make a really good ground contact.

5. Estimate strap length required and cut it as necessary.

Insert unbent portion of strap through other clip and assemble

as in Step 3.

6. Catch clip under anchor and tighten screws equally until

switch is affixed firmly to steering column.

* When cover is removed, pull Spring Clip away from handle to disengage socket & pilot

bulb assembly from handle. Replace pilot bulb with #51 for 6 volt, #53 for 12 volt, or

#356 for 24 volt service. Re-engage pilot bulb assembly back into handle. Do not try to

test pilot bulb until after switch is reassembled and grounded.

* Replace flashers as follows: for 12V, 263; for 24V, 263-4.

CAUTION: Power lead must be connected to a line which is ìhotî when ignition switch is off for hazard warning signal to operate when motor is not running!.

Signal-Stat 900 Series Trouble Shooting Guide

1. If nothing is working, please check for the following:

• Make sure there is a really good ground to the steering column (metal to metal) or run

separate ground wire under anchor clip to chassis

• Re-check the wire colors / locations

• Check for shorts where wires are spliced

• Use a (3) terminal flasher; “P” = Pilot (Blue), “L” = Load (Yellow), “X” = Power from

battery

2. The pilot light not working is usually a good indication of insufficient ground, the flasher is bad

or the bulb could have burned out.

3. The pilot light is staying on usually means the Blue and Yellow wires are connected together on

a two terminal flasher, (see note 8).

4. The hazard lights flash but the turn signals don’t. Make sure there is a really good ground

(metal to metal) contact between the strap and steering column. The quality of 6V flashers is

poor. They have small parts that break during shipping. Some customers have to try 2 or 3 of

them before they find a good flasher, (see note 1).

5. Positive ground vehicles do not affect the switch, installation is the same.

6. If customer has separate hazard and turn signal flashers, 2 possible methods:

Method 1 - try hooking up a jumper wire between the 2 flasher power terminals. This terminal is

usually marked with "L" adjacent to the terminal. You would also run the YELLOW wire from

the turn signal switch to one of the 2 "L" terminals. This is the power for the switch. With this

method, you will continue to use BOTH flashers. If you want the green and red indicator lights

on the turn signal switch to work, you would also have to run the BLUE wire from the switch to

the "P" terminal of BOTH flashers.

Method 2 - is to run the wires from your hood indicators from the hazard flasher to the "P"

terminal of the turn signal flasher. With this method, you will only use ONE flasher to do both

functions. Again, if you want the green and red indicator lights on the turn signal switch to work,

you would also have to run the BLUE wire from the switch to the "P" terminal of the flasher.

7. If customer has a Painless Wiring Harness with separate turn and hazard flashers:

• Disconnect the Painless Flasher

• Add a jumper wire between the two slots

• Install a 263 (3) terminal flasher; P = Blue for Pilot or indicator light, L = Yellow for

load, X = Purple, wire # 952 from harness for Power

8. If customer only has a 2 terminal flasher instead of 3 terminals: “L” terminal = Yellow and

don’t connect the Blue wire. However, the green and red indicator lights on the turn signal

switch will not function, (see note 3).

9. Wagner and Tridon flasher terminals are labeled different then stated above:

B = Battery, L = Load (Yellow), E = Pilot (Blue)

10. Installing a stop light switch: a normal stop light switch will have two poles on the bottom,

apply power to one side and the gray wire with a black stripe (from the 900 switch) to the other

(negative) side if marked.

11. If the rear brakes lamps are coming on together: make sure the brakes lamps in the rear are not

tied together. Meaning the RH & LH lamps have to be on different circuits. The line shown in

Figure B of the instruction sheet is for the Tail lamp circuit only.

12. If customer is using LED brake lamps on the vehicle: an electronic flasher 275 would be

needed instead of the 263 listed on the instruction sheet.

Wire the 275 flasher as follows:

Red = Power (X terminal)

White = Output (Yellow wire from switch)

Black = Ground

Green = Indicator/Pilot (Blue wire from switch)
