Major wiring questions!!! Help

[Ghostrider1]

Hey guys I need help figuring out the wiring for the starting diagram of my Automatic transmission trike. I want to make sure it will not start while it is in gear. I have been racking my brain trying to decide how is the easiest and best way to to this. I also need to know if I need to purchase a turn signal control module canceler because I have to hold the handlebar switch in for them to work at the present time. any help would be appreciated.

Did not know that there was a turn signal cancelor on the handlebar switch.

For the automatic transmission, well did you get the switch and harness that was on it ?

Than just look up the year bug it came from and look at it's wiring diagram and make it work on the trike. could be wrong.

Starter Inhibitor (Neutral Safety Switch) is located on the shifter assembly up front. If you don't have the original Type3 shift lever assembly, the builder probably fabricated some sort of switch contacts on the shifter (hopefully).

The switch is also for the reverse lights.

Hope this helps.

This is also what I remember.

I have never had a vw full auto. But as stated I also remember the switches and the gear detents all being in the shifter itself.

Hello, I'm mechanically declined, but I wired my turn signals from a fuse to the switch to the light and grounded each light. They are not self canceling but they just run off of a fuse.

Thanks for your time,

My signals came to me wired to the harley switches on the bars. Without any controller to run them they would only stay on as long as the button was held down. While trying to decide on a controller for them I wired a single pole double throw switch on the dash, in parallel with the bar switches. Now I can have a short burst or constant on, but I still have remember to turn them off! Still need to buy a controller for best operation.

wire an old fashion car flasher into the system

latching type relays would maybe work. 1 push of switch to latch, 1 push to unlatch?

Well all my bikes you have to hold the button for the signals to work. I consider it a safety feature. I never leave them on, so no one pulls out in front of me thinking I'm gonna turn.:Shrug:

My wiring came out of the bug, cut up and modified for the trike, so I have a turn signal flasher wired in off the supply fuse, and it is wired for the hazard flasher pot, but do not have the need for that yet. The handle bar grip control is a slide switch for turn signals and the push button for high/low headlight and push button for the horn. Kind a thought most all were set up that way until I looked around more... I hope you do figure it out, remember simple easy setup can be the better way to go.

Here's a cheap controller board that will work: https://www.amazon.com/Qianson-Infi...ords=12vdc+timer+module&qid=1595885154&sr=8-3

Hey ...... That looks great.

Not load sensitive/dependant like an old school flasher relay.

Would be great for LED lights.

Turn signals

After some investigating I found a company that make the perfect part for this kind of build.

They are called Signal Dynamics

If you search https://www.signaldynamics.com/self-canceling-turn-signal-module/amazon,ebay, and even Walmart.com you can find the part very reasonable.

The part # I used was 01501. The instructions could be clearer, just make sure to use a fuse on the main power and also power the wires going to your switches. It is not very clear from what a few of my friends looking at the instructions thought.
