Hotwaterwizard can be counted on to come up with a nicely drawn out circuit no matter what the problem, so definitely a help on the forum for everyone. If just one of those circuits need a tweak to optimize it, out of hundreds, it's still a great batting percentage.

If your vehicle uses an integrated lighting control module, then you probably should go with the added load to deal with the lamp outage function.

If you need to add the load to the circuit, connect it across the K1 top relay from 87A to ground. That way you won't get doubled load when the brakes are applied, but it instead shunts the load to your resistor or light bulb.

The advantage of the light bulb is less heat at the cost of reliability, since it could break or burn out. I'd still go with a bulb; just wire in a socket from 87A to ground. If it burns out you'll know it.

I cant get the picture to load of Dualsports diagram. I am having the same problem and a heck of a time trying to figure it out.... I have been using DPDT relays with no diodes and I can only get independant turn signals but when the brakes light up it overrides... I would like to start from scratch with a better setup.... PLEASE HELP>>>

Thanks,

Josh

Strange- are your computers able to display .png files? Emailed the file over, see if that works.

John,

the thing scaring me from using yours is the diodes. I have no clue what ones to use. I have a Radio shack right around the corner... Any recomendations on a diode??

DualSport,

my computers must not work with .png files. I appreciate your trying but I am having no luck at all opening the file...

Thank You Both,

Josh

Well, weird how you can't view .png files, they're supposed to be Portable. How about a jpg then?
