    Default Turn signal switch help

    So, my old switch rotted away and I bought what I thought was an identical one off of ebay. It's close, but slightly different.

    I can't for the life of me figure out which wire should go where. I have the diagram for both-can someone point me in the right direction?

    I verified my distribution box matches this one:

    And this matches the switch I have:

    I'd prefer to not let the magic smoke out.

    Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks,

    Dave

    Are you running 24v or 12v as the old style distribution box will only run on 24v. The newer solid state system will work on either 24v or 12v but you must have both pieces. (switch and box)

    I asked because the diagram for the switch you showed is for a 12v one. Try posting pics of the unit you have and that should help us figure out what you need.

    Sure! Just from your comments I get the sneaking suspicion I've bought the wrong switch.

    Doesnt look like the original Sparton switch on the M715...maybe the wires could be figured out and still work but not sure...

    I think I count 7 wires?

    So far, no luck finding the wiring harness tha goes between the signal and the flasher. Anyone have a source?

    Maybe this thing would be workable?

    I know a supplier was mentioned in the detailed conversion thread. I emailed that guy but haven't heard back.
