Question About Brake Lights/turn Signals

Is it normal for my gauge turn signal indicators to come in when the brake is applied? They come on solid until the petal is released. The front and side indicators do not come on, just the rear, and when the turn signal is turned on, it still works but the opposite signal indicator still stays solid green.

I have the stock external turn signal switch mounted on the column and a painless harness which was hooked up by the prior owner, and have yet to track down any issues there..

 

sounds like a wiring issue
dash signal indicators are wired to front light circuit
what your describing . PO has them hooked to rear lights . so your getting feed back from brake circuit

 

Probably the PO has something hooked up wrong. My Sparton had some variation of the colors so you might want to use a meter to test out what is what. Hook it up "soft" to be sure you have it so you aren't taking it apart and back together 14X.

Sparton SCS-3R7 Wire Color --- Jeep Wiring Harness Wire (and Color)

White --- Left Rear Turn Signal / Brake (Blue)

Red --- Left Front Turn Signal (Yellow)

Orange --- Right Rear Turn Signal / Brake (Orange)

Green --- Right Front Turn Signal (Black)

Blue --- Brake Light Switch (Brown)

Black --- Flasher Terminal marked "L"

Yellow --- Flasher Terminal marked "P"

(Note: Third flasher terminal marked "X" is for fused 12v input from ACC terminal on ignition switch)

 

Thanks for the info! I’ll attack that this weekend
