Turn signal switch?

Anyone have a wiring diagram for a '56 turn signal switch. Finishing up ez-wire harness, and using the stock column. All else seems to be working well. Thanx for any help!!!

According to mid fifty catalog:
red wire- stop light switch
blue wire- flasher
yellow wire- left rear
White w/blue stripe- right front
green w/ white stripe- left front
green wire- right rear
Note: Turn signals override brake light switch when on. Stop switch wires go to either switch post.

I know I am going to look dumb here (worse than I already do), but we have a flasher built in? Where is it..am I blind?

No, in the day the flasher was either just hanging on the wires under the dash or clipped into a metal clip similar to a broom clip somewhere under the dash. It's only been recently that the flasher was on the fuse panel.
If you are looking for it, it's a silver metal can ~ 2" long x 1" diameter.

Ohh...I was thinking 4 way (emergency flasher). You are talking about the turn signal flasher. I will crawl back into my hole now.

Yep 4 ways are newer yet. LOL! You dang young kids! There was even a time long long ago when you had to stick your arm out the window and signal which way you were turning...

thanx for the info !! all is well!!!

One more question though, I have the EZ mini harness, not sure where the hazard flasher lead goes???? I know it needs to go to a switch but I am using the stock column?? Can i use any switch?? The lead is energized with 12v at all times? thanx hope im not being confusing?

Try grounding the lead and see if the 4ways flash. If so you just need a simple switch to ground.
