Turn Signals... Help :(

[cloudbreakmd]

I ordered a set of turn signals from PartsNMore and they look beautiful and appear to be quality pieces in terms of construction.

But, they are all 1 wire signals? 1 wire? What do I do now? Help?

Nothing wrong with 1-wire signals, unless you also want running lights in the front.

The single wire is your hot wire, they ground through the mount, so you might have to use a wire with a large ring terminal around the mount to provide a gound, if necessary.

Thank you Steve. Now the next question... Where do I find one of those ground washers with a wire hooked up to it?

No, I can't get the lights to work. The aftermarket signals I took off (read tiny sport signals) were two wire jobs.

Anyplace that sells Trailer Accessories should have them. I think Wal Mart here has them in Automotive.

Wal-Mart. Radio Shack. Maybe even Lowe's. All it is is a large ring terminal, and you can attach your own wire. If nothing else, strip back about an inch of wire and just wrap that around the mount, then tighten the mounting nut over it. You could also use a spade or fork terminal slipped under the mounting nut. In other words, it's nothing really special.

Thank you guys. I have a friend up at Harbor Freight now. Maybe he will pick some up for me.

The GS OEM turnsignals were also two wire connections; sounds like you have it fixed already
