Hi All,
After Rebuilding the Flasher Relay Box with 8-terminal DPDT relays, all seemed to preform much better then the original. However, just when I thought I could put this issue behind me. However, my still had some issues to resolve in the for of dash indicators lights not performing consistently and sometimes not at all. To make matters worse, although the signal lights performed correctly, the dash indicators would sometimes show the wrong side. Going through the wiring, all seemed correct and, although I did find a broken bullet connector relating to the dash indicator lights, there was no change as a result of replacing the component.
So, another day on this frustrating project and I began to wonder. Since I wired the reflector a while back to mirror that brake / turn signal light of the side, what if I eliminated the Flasher Relay Box and dedicate the reflector lights to the Turn Signals. This would allow the second rear main-bulb filaments to be dedicated to the Brakes (as in the BJ8 Phase 2). Although this would require running an additional line rearward for the dedicated brake lights, the original turn signal wiring can be used.
So, what are the thoughts of having the LEDs installed behind the red reflector lenses dedicated to the Turn Signal function? Do you think they will be obvious enough for that function? Or, should I keep the Flasher Relay Box and clear up problems with causing the present Dash indicator issue?
