turn signal switch and Halogen headlight usage
« on: January 14, 2007, 11:11:56 AM »

 I have got all my lights to work on my 67 Barracuda with exception of the turn signals. Is there a turn signal switch in the column along with the cancellation cam? I have flashers but do not have any turn signals, does anyone have any ideas on where I can look to find a possible solution? Do I need a special part to make my headlight switch live when I use Halogen headlights?

 I went out to the garage and have found that if I turn my flasher switch on the dash to the "on" position the hazards turn on, but if I hit the turn signals at this time they work! You shouldnt have to turn on the flashers and then hit your turn signal do you? The car in question is a 67' Barracuda,  Huh

Years back, I wired a couple of 727 landing lights into the high beam circuit and while driving on a curvie road in S Ga. the breaker kicked.
Until then I didn't know there was a breaker till then. Scary situation but I was only 19 in 1971.

Use a relay and slightly larger gauge for your halogen lamps.  This setup on standard lamps will make a big difference, let alone halogens.
