Front Sidemarker Flasher Module Options

[Spoke]

There has been some interest in a module that would flash the front sidemarker with the turnsignal. The rear running/brake/turnsignal board I did for the 356 using the front turnsignal bucket from a 914 uses the same function to flash the running or brake light when the turnsignal comes on.

The flashing circuit was lifted from the 356 board and placed on this board with some modification. The board will be about 1.6in x 1in and will be enclosed in a small plastic box. The module will replace the wires which go from the front trunk into the rubber wire channel to the sidemarker and turnsignal.

Basically the wires to the turnsignal and sidemarker will be pulled out of the rubber channel and connected to the module. The module will have wires that will be fished into the rubber channel and connected to the sidemarker and turnsignal just like the OEM wiring. The OEM wiring will remain intact keeping with my goal of no cutting/screwing/gluing plug-and-play installation.

The driver side installation went very well. Lessons learned from the passenger side disassembly and reassembly made installation much easier.

After pulling the connectors off the turnsignal and sidemarker, the sidemarker boot was warmed up and with soapy water, the 2 connectors were pulled out without breaking.

To unfish the wires from the turnsignal boot, the end of the boot going to the trunk was pulled out which made finding each wire and pulling them out of the boot much easier.

On reinstall of the sidemarker boot, instead of pre-crimping the spades on the sidemarker wire then trying to fish them in, the wires were fished into the turnsignal boot then sidemarker boot and spades crimped on then.



With both boots free of the vehicle, it was simple to fish the new wires into the boots then mount the boots on the vehicle.
