help with wiring
ok, i need some technical info. this if for a 94 honda cbr600f2 motorcycle. im wanting to take off the rear turn signals. there are two bulbs in the brake light. im wanting to wire it so that the correct side of the brake light blinks when i turn on the signal. can anyone offer me any help on doing this. anything special i need?
you should be able to do this with 2-30Amp relays. the wiring is someone difficult to explain without you having those. However, I tried this on a Yamaha that had double filiment LED's and it was a pain in the *** to do...
get the relays and we'll talk..they should be about $5 each and Radio Shack, Fry's, etc. should have them..

super laubo (2:05 PM 3/13/2003): alrite, in that case.. you should see 5 different pins on the relay, each reading 85,86, 30, 87, and 87A. one relay is going to be for the right, and the other for the left. i'm not sure how your brake/parking set up is. if it is a double filament bulb like most are, you'll have to work with the blinker wire and parking light wire. using the brake light will be useless because this setup will not work unless your brake lights are on. with that, lets start with the right side.
1.) disconnect the positive blinker wire(usually a brighter color wire) and stick that on pin 85.
2.)connect pin 86 to a ground such as the (-) on the battery.
3.)disconnect the positive (+) side of the parking light(you can use a voltmeter or just guess and disconnect one of the wires going into the socket(it might be something with green or yellow in it. make sure you leave some slack on the wire. you'll need it later)
4.)with the wire on the side going into the parking light, connect it to pin 30.
5.) with the other side of the parking light wire, connect that to the middle pin right above pin 30, i believe it should be 87A(i get mixed up with 87 and 87A's locations, sorry!!)
6.) this theoretically should work if everything is ran off of bulbs and not LED's. the theory behind it is: 87A and 30 are normally in contact with each other until some type of electricity powers up the relay(thus you should hear a clicking noise) and causes the contacts to no longer touch. in this case, the pulsating in the blinker should turn the relay on and off,breaking and connecting the contacts between the parking lights causing it to look like a blinker.
if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. this should work, but sometimes things come up. it's very difficult for me to predict the outcome when i don't know what kind of circuitry your bike has and i'm sorry about that. good luck with everything!!!

the relays i got have 4 connections. 86- on/off switch, 30/51- 12V out, 86-ground, 87-12V in.

damn, i should have made it more clear. i'm sorry!! the relays need to be DPDT(double pole, double throw). also, try to get a voltmeter of some sort(not a test light).
most likely the parkling lights are green. an easy way to checking it is by cutting the wire(leaving lots of slack just in case you have to reconnect it) and seeing if the parking lights turn off.
one other thing, i automatically assumed that you have two different bulbs for the parking lights. is this true? if not, we got alot more work to do.

coolio, no prob.. btw, how much is this box? those two relays do essentially the same thing, but without all the hassle.
