    Quality isn't the best, but only way I could figure out how to get you a diagram so you can see how the old signal stat switch works and is wired.

    Thanks!

    trying to cipher that print...... lol

    going from left to right in the middle, I'll tell you what I think the colors are if you could check what I see I'd appreciate that.

    OR-W = orange & white (there's orange, no white) left turn hood & front

    V-B, = violet & blue (there's blue, no violet), right front hood & front

    Y-BK = yellow & black (there's a black and a yellow), left rear stop turn

    GR (I think) = green, (there's no green) right rear stop turn

    then further to the right there's

    V-BL = blue, v? customer access right turn stop

    BR-V = brown , v? (there is no brown) customer access left turn stop

    so, what is in and what is out and what about the colors that aren't on this signal stat?

    Thanks

    We decided to just run 2 sets of lights like swaan said. Ran 3 new wires to the back.

    Brake lights are red wire on signal stat

    Right turn is blue on signal stat

    Let turn is orange on signal stat

    Now we have all turn lights working when turn lights are only being used and all brake lights working when brake lights are used, but when we turn right turn on and brake lights on, we lose brake lights and right turn doesn't flash. There is no way we have any cross over in our new end of wiring, so stumped on that part.

    Tried uploading a pic, but it says file is too big. Dunno why, can upload them pretty much every other place.

    I might be able to help in a tiny way.

    Bring up the screenshot views of the maps you are wanting to see.

    Hit print screen or similar, it will take a screenshot copy of whatever is on that screen.

    Open paint in your windows.

    PASTE directly to a fresh paint screen. Your copied and pasted maps view should show up then.

    SAVE as whatever name .JPG (JPEG)

    Upload the .jpg picture and you should have it up.
