A little Christmas present a bit early. Gotta do some mods on the board and assemble this weekend.
A while back I was chastised by the fab house that if I put 'Made in USA' on the board I might have issues with customs. So I started putting only 'USA' on the board. Every board I do the USA get larger and larger. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Attached image(s) ![]() |

Assembled the first set of boards. They seem to work fine:

OK, looks great!
We will take one set when they're ready, so please put us down for a set. Thank you. |

OK time to install the flasher module on my 914. My general rule is no cutting/gluing/drilling to install LEDs. So the task at hand is to un-fish the wires to the sidemarker and turnsignal out of the rubber conduits.
This is turning out to be more of chore than I thought would. First thing is to get to the ends of the wires to disconnect from the light fixtures. ![]() |

Pulled the sidemarker wires off the socket ok. But the base of the turnsignal bucket came off with the rubber conduit. I see the bottom of the bulb socket looking out. Good thing I have extra light buckets to use.

All the wires have been pulled out of the conduit. The power spade on the sidemarker pulled off the wire. I had added some wire to the original wires to allow for more movement when I did a refurbish a while back.
The ground wire (brown) has 2 spades on it for the sidemarker and turnsignals. I'll likely just run 2 separate ground wires to keep it simple. Attached image(s) ![]() |

This is the power spade pulled off of the sidemarker wire. The plan was to have the OEM spades connect to the module with insulated spades as shown below. However the insulation does not cover the entire exposed metal. I'll need to have some other insulator added to this spade.

This is the assembly for one side. The module has wires on both sides. One side goes to the vehicle wires pulled out of the conduit and the other side goes to the new wires going in the conduit. The connectors on the vehicle side are female and on the turnsignal side are male so it cannot be reversed.
The spades to the sidemarker do not have insulation like OEM to make it easier to fish through the sidemarker gasket. ![]() |

To pull the wires and spades for the sidemarker through the main conduit and sidemarker gasket, a feed wire was taped onto the spades and spades were set one in front of the other. This was the most difficult part of the install.
The spades really resisted going into the sidemarker gasket. I think it would be easier to leave the wire bare and install the spade after pulling the wire through. Attached image(s) ![]() ![]() |

Sidemarker wires pulled through the main conduit.
![]() Put petroleum jelly on the wires and tube of the sidemarker gasket. This still didn't help much. Probably would have helped to heat up the gasket in hot water. ![]() The turnsignal wires are pulled easily through the conduit. Ready for final wire attachment. ![]() |

Wires all connected and tie wrapped. The pigtail wires to the module are 7 inches. I think they can be shortened to about 4 inches.

The module in action. When the turnsignals end notice the turnsignal white running lights and the sidemarker come back on at the same time. They both use the same timing circuit.

Great work Jerry; Merry Christmas. Looking forward to installing mine when ever you ship them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Not sure why this is being made so complicated. I did this years ago with some wire and wire nuts under the fenders.

Going to take a shot at this.... Jerry is making LED side markers that will flash with the turn signal. Thus the module, extra wiring and the need to pull the stock wires out of the boots and run the new wires. Jerry's goal, as I understand it, is to make LED units which are plug 'n play with no damage to the original parts. He does excellent work and is a valued member of our community.

There's always a better mouse trap. Yes this is complicated but I couldn't figure out how to flash the sidemarker when it is already on. That means it must be turned off between flashes. |

It's been a few years, but thought I just shared the power going to the blinker bulb with the side marker bulb. I do remember, the first time I tried to wire it up, it flashed alternately, but switched some wires around and got it simultaneous. Any way here is video proof it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3MytagvpbE |
