Hazard light switch diagram.

Change of ADRs to allow fitting of LED driving lights.
Outback Accessories Australia's photo.
Outback Accessories Australia
The ADR's have now been amended to allow the fitment of LED lightbars to vehicles, however in WA the Traffic regulations have still to be amended. Dept. of Transport in WA has issued an exemption to the regulations which effectively allows the fitment of one piece light bars now, but take note of the allowed conditions and fitting positions . In the attached pic the bottom four fitting positions/setups are acceptable.
Conditions
The LED light bar(s) must be installed at the front of the vehicle and not higher than the front edge of the bonnet.
The LED light bar(s) must be installed horizontally and located symmetrically about the longitudinal centre line of the vehicle.
The LED light bar(s) must be forward facing and positioned in a way that the light produced does not cause the driver of the vehicle discomfort, either directly or by reflection while in the normal driving position.
The LED light bar(s) must only operate when the high-beam headlights are in operation and must automatically turn off when the high-beam headlights are turned off.
A manual switch must be provided to allow the LED light bar to be deactivated, so that it is not on whether the high beam is on or off. This switch must be accessible to the driver of the vehicle from the normal driving position.
The LED light bar(s) must only emit white light.
The LED light bar(s) shall not obstruct the driver’s view of the roadway more than 11 metres ahead of the driver's eye position when looking through the windscreen, with the driver’s seat in the rearmost position.
One or more (to a maximum of four) LED light bars may be fitted as additional driving lamps.

I could not copy photos but all lights must be below top of bull bar and not justing forward.

Jon-d,

Thanks for the input here. Typical European overly complicated......

So are you saying pin 8 should be powered + full time from maybe the ignition switch and pin 2 OR 4 should have a separate + supply of its own.

Going to have a crack at this today if the bride can stop finding chores for me to do.....

Spent the day trying to sort this thing. Finally got lights flashing together. My simple solution, whether its right or wrong is up for debate....

Direct from the flasher canister "load" terminal. The usual 24v + and - on the other terminals. On the bloody switch... (1) from the load terminal, (3) and (5) to the L&R blinkers. That's about it. The others don't seem to be needed to get the thing operating. Still got to hook it up to the bus wiring but can't see a problem there... hopefully. Actually all the switches are almost identical except the hazard lights are double sided with 8 terminals where the others are 4 or less. It does look as thought all the other switches are parallel circuits where one might fail the other side of the switch still operates. Everything is doubled up all the way through. The flasher looks as though it might be the same thing. The light isn't hooked into this system but that suits as all the other switch lights are on 12v and are only for night time illumination.

Thanks all for the input it is appreciated and was a good exercise for the brain matter.

Was away yesterday,

I'd put the load terminal on the flasher to pin 5.

RH, LH indicator to pins 1 and 3.

And then, gnd to pin 10. (This will light the lamp in the switch.)



You can use pins 2&4 to turn something on when the flashers are on, and pins x&x to turn something off when the flashers are on. (think warnings and safety.... gas? power?)

Dirk, That bus of yours didn't originally have the blinkers in the park lights did it, or maybe the tail lights and the blinkers on the same globe, similar to a lot of US stuff in the 60's - 80's?

Jon D,

Will give it a shot a bit later. There were a few combinations that seemed to work when I was testing, this last one of mine just seemed the easier one. Time is running out for me to move the bus and head for Sydney so will have another fiddle down there and give your set up a shot.

David,

No, all blinkers and lights were on a separate system, front and rear as well as the repeaters down the side. I still have them in the same set up now.

...And the music goes round and round,
And it comes out here...


Our (Chevy Workhorse-based) Winnie Explorer has a hazard switch which is two completely separate circuits (L & R) operated by one pull-on-push-off switch on the steering column.

V simple - like most Yanks.





(Sorry, meant to say 'like most Yank stuff.' )

[Kelvin12]

Definitely go along with that.
