Yup, no worries brother! I was just letting you know so the authorities don't flash their lights at you on here. Just a heads up is all.

Well after putting in the new turn signal switch, I discovered I also need: 1 new turn signal socket, 1 turn signal flasher, and a way to wire up back up lights. Since my back up light switch/Neutral safety switch wouldn't work without the tab on the shift tube, I installed two toggle switches. 1 for the wire going to the ignition, and 1 for the back up light wire. for the one with the back up wire, I put a 20 amp inline fuse(which I have to rewire without the inline fuse, because it doesn't work) and the other one works excellent. I need an idea for back up lights.

I would guess too much current flowing through the thing, like might happen if one of the wires at the tail light socket was grounding out instead of allowing current to go through the bulb.

ok, problem arose again. New heavy duty turn signal flasher, still no turn signals. how/why? and I am blowing backup light fusing like crazy. it is suppose to be a 15 amp fuse, but they keep blowing. which fuse does the turn signals use?

If fuses blow, you have a short somewhere (wires touching different wires or that wire that was getting power is touching metal and grounding it out thus blowing a fuse).
Check over your wiring and make sure none is touching each other or grounding out on metal.

I found out what was causing no turn signals: it was either the connection at the turn signal switch connector or it was the flasher connectors. I mashed the TSS stuff together, and I took the flasher connector apart and hooked up the wires directly to the flasher.
