Snapz It Wiring harness and Brake/turn/emer. flashers

Just finally finishing up the dash wiring and need a bit of help. My wiring harness doesn't have any magical provision to connect all the different diodes, etc... for my turn signals, flashers, emergency flashers, brake lights to all work and play together so I need some help.
A good wiring diagram would help, along with part numbers for the diodes I will need. I believe it will take 4- 2 diodes for the emergency flashers, 2 for the brake/ turn signal lights.

I am using the VW turn signal assembly on my column. Will those wires handle the turn signals, or are you guys using a relay to handle the turn signal current?

Thanks,
Bob

wiring w? diodes

I'm not familiar with the Snapz It wiring harness but if you are using only one indicator on the dash for turn signals, you will need one diode on each feed wire ( Lf & Rt) to the single bulb.

Depending on how you wire the rear Brake/Turn Signals (upper for brake - lower for TS) will determine what you need to isolate the bulbs from back-feeding thru the opposite circuit.

I personally have both upper and lower (both sides) on for brakes and both upper and lower on for whichever side is selected for TS.

If you have a wiring diagram, post it or send it to me in a PM and I'll see if I can help you out with placement. As a side note, "terminal strips" make a great place to interface all the wiring and give you a place to "inject" diodes into the circuit.
