Bought one for shows/parades, etc. Anyone have a good wire diagram on how to install? Looks pretty straight forward, but I want to run the light off two switches. I have the D2s on a switch now for normal on/off, I'd like to put the flasher on a separate switch similar to the video link below so I can still use the D2s and normal trail lights and activate the strobe stuff when needed.

Video no worky

 

Thanks, link fixed. Any thoughts anyone?

 

That's simple enough- a double throw switch. Up will power it normal, center is off, down will feed power through your strobe unit and out to your lights.

Or......a switch to a relay (but you'll need a second switch to apply power to your switch) 87 can be standard function, 87a can be your strobe.

The dual probe switch would probably be your easiest/ best option.




All standard disclaimers- all applicable state laws apply, don't impersonate police/ law enforcement, etc.

 

That's what I had though also, except I'm trying to run this through my sPod...so it add another level of complexity to it. I figured out how to run my ARB compressor through the sPod, this can't be that difficult, I'm just used to installing high/low wig-wags which spice into high-beam lines and these relays don't have the normal input/output lines for that.

I don't think I can switch the type of switches I've got in the sPod, and wouldn't really want to mess with that since it all came pre-wired.

I won't need to worry about the disclaimer...and I don't use my POV for that anyway. Jeep has wayyyyyyyy too many mods done to worry about getting hit trying to run code.

 

Like the others have said, a DPDT switch would be the best bet. Have one side hooked to a constant relay for the lights, and the other side hooked to a relay feeding a strobe controller to the lights. Actually, since the Dually's pull such a low amperage, you could actually wire them directly to the switches if you wanted. A OTRATTW Contra V switch is rated for 20Amps.

An LED flasher like this one would appear to work. http://www.able2products.com/update/11_1005tsf_v1.htm

The Dually D2's are rated at 2.5A, and this will handle up to 3A per side.

That's my $0.02, but I'm sure there are much more electrically inclined people on this forum.

I look forward to hearing what solutions people have for this issue. Also, if you do get these installed, keep the forum updated on what all it took.

 

any update on this? Just posted looking to do this through my spod to rigid SRMs

 

No, I've drawn a few diagrams out, but the simplest solution is to find a different style flasher unit, which I haven't found for LEDs yet... A DTDP switch is not an option with the sPod.

 

just replied to the other thread but posting here too in case you aren't subscribed...someone suggested using a code 3 model 710 flasher unit

 

Any updates..I'm trying to figure this out myself...just installed my spod...looking for a flasher module....
