Default How To Put Cab / Flasher Lights ON Designated Switch

After there was so much interest in having the flashers work with the work lights, I decided to simplify my original wiring down to something anyone could do in 10 minutes. Here it is.

You can wire this in 3 ways.

#1 is simple, you simply jumper the orange and purple wires on the switch with a small piece of wire and 2 blade connectors that get sandwitched in between the connectos. This will have the emergency flashers on all the time any other lights are on, but the work lights will be on also.

#2 Is more workable. and simple for anyone. You put a diode inbetween the jumper to only allow the electrical flow from the hazards to the top work lights, and not back to the hazards when you just want the work lights on. So position 1 would have work lights and hazards. #2 would have hazards, front lights, and work lights.

#3 You need to wire a switch in between the jumper to open and close the jumper. This will also need the diode to work well. You would then be able to turn on the work lights in any position of the switch that the hazards would be on.

I am going to wire ming up differently and I do not have the parts needed, so i do not show each situation. I plan to put power to a switch, and jumper it to the purle wire to be able to turn on and off the worklights at anytime I would like.
