signalstat 900 install

Post by jacksauto »

have a signal stat 900 and I was wondering about the rear taillight install.the fronts are using the 2 larger lights that are not normally used.but my question Is,do the wires go to the larger light bulbs on the rear.they are only single filliments.how does that work for the rear blinkers?

I used the signal stat 900 that was in my truck when I put in the new wiring harness. I found an issue using single filament bulbs, when the truck was supposed to be signaling right, the emergency flashers would come on. The solution as it ended up being, was changing to duel filament taillights, problem solved. I guess what I'm saying, is it may not be possible for you. I'd love to find out when you figure out a work around to your issue

Was never able to get the little lights on the signal stat to flash unfortunately...

The smaller bulbs are tail lights and tied together.
larger bulb is the brake light and you need to add another light with the two bulbs like the left to the right side unless it's already been done.
Right side has a tail and blackout brake originally.

When wiring the lights as per instructions you cut the brake light wire and run in through the switch to send power to the appropriate light and use the original brake light wire for the left light.
If the two rear lights are tied together you separate them and run a new wire from the right side to the turn switch.

Your SignalStat must be the "7 wire" type to do what you want. It multiplexes the stop and turn functions into a single lamp on each side.

The 4-wire type can't be used with the stock taillight housings. It requires separate rear stop and turn lamps to function.
