I sent this to the POC site also, thought I would try here too.
I need some help on turn signals that do not work. I am putting turn signals on the 1929 Plymouth Coupe.
What happens? When I hook everything up, as per the instructions, turn the signal switch to the right or left side (makes no diference which side) the light will light up (dim) but not flash. Checking the voltage coming out of the flasher with NO light hooked to the system I have 6.4 volts. I hook up 1 (one) light then I still have 6.4 volts and the light is bright. If I hook up a second light the voltage drops to 3.0 volts and the lights go dim, if I hook up one more light (#3) the volts drop to 1.6 volts and the lights are still dim. This happens even if I hook up only both tail lights, or any combination. I thought I had a ground problem, not so. I run ground wires to each light and it made no diference
The voltage comes thru the flasher from the fuse, and feeds the turn signal switch.
I got a NOS signal switch to start with. I used all new wiring and tail lights, turn signals, and front turn signals. I have tryed 3 (Three) new 6V Flashers. I have double checked all the grounds at all the lights, I have run a ground wire to the signal switch to be sure that its got a good ground. I have checked the battery and even tryed it with a battery charger hooked up to make sure I had enough (6V) voltage. If I take the flasher out of the system, hook up a hot lead to where the flasher would normally furnish the 6V to the lights, everything works bright and OK and no voltage drop, as long as I run the switch by hand. I hope some one has an idea I haven't tryed.
Thanks,
SD Glenn
