Sorry to add to the hundreds of threads on this subject...

I am using a Fiesta wiring loom on my midi and I am using the original Fiesta Column stalks. However, I am not using the Hazard switch as it is where I have mounted my Koso DB02R digidash (with the lights add on). I want to replace this switch with a dual pole (I think that is the right word) toggle switch and use the indicator telltale on my digidash.

I have attached the original Fiesta wiring diagram and my proposed circuit using the toggle switch.

I am presuming that the live is switched on the flasher relay - the digidash warning gauges use a common earth so I plan to route the warning light through that, whereas the fiesta unit routed the warning light via the earth from the relay. If it is the earth that the relay switches, then a small replan me thinks....

Thanks once again.

Your L+R indicators are shorted together at the junction top right of you tell tale bulb. Try again

That is the tricky bit that is covered by a fancy (production) switch

You could fit diodes in the lines that are shorted though. That'd solve it.

DOH! Should have spotted that.... Will look at diodes.

If I put the telltale 'inline' would that work?

Thanks for the help.

You could actually put the telltale across the l and r indicators. It will earth through the non selected side bulb but due to the voltage drop across the telltale the main indicator bulb will not light.
However you will still have the short problem. Diodes will be fine just make sure they can carry say 6 amps ( you only really need 3 and a bit) to be on the safe side. That way they won't heat up much.

Like this?

that wold do it but a bit pricey. Something like this
diodes
soldered in line and heatshrink them.
