[QUOTE="txcomp, post: 625050, member: 13869"] [b]Flasher Diagram[/b] I got a few minutes to do a diagram showing diodes and locations as I understood the ckt from your diagram. The graphic got truncated a little when I exported it so you need to look close on the right side for the ground. I'd personally used some barrier strips to make my connections and build the diode bridges for a cleaner and more serviceable installation. I also "installed" diodes facing your flasher control box just in case. I'm sure if has them in place internally but I wasn't sure. You're going to need to use some pretty "big" diodes to handle the current draw of the lights. The drawing got a little convoluted so you obviously don't have to take all of your grounds all the way back to the battery. I'd expect that you already have chassis grounds for the switch, control box and lights. This drawing also assumes high current relays internal to the control box. Most of the fire/LE vehicles I've wired lights/sirens in before had high current relays contained in the control module. If you have any questions, just holla!
