Turn signals
Hello, I am trying to figure out the turn signal connections on a military truck built in 1969. The switch is made by Spartan & has 6 wires coming from it. The relay box has no markings but may be something common to other 24 volt military applications, most of the other gauges & switches are standard looking. The box has 2 connection bars one with 6 connections & the lower one has 5. The brake light switch is not connected to anything at present. The signal system looks like it was on the truck from the factory.
When the main light switch is on "Brake light" the relay makes flasher sounds & the indicator on the column flashes but nothing else works. The signal/brake bulbs all work when energised at the box with a jumper. Does this sound or look like anything common to other vehicles? Thank you for any suggestions.

I believe that is the same setup that was on the M38A1 Cdn2 from the factory. There is a wiring diagram in the Canadian jeep maintenance manual of that period. As wll, I believe it may be common to the US M37B1 (?) 3/4 ton dodge.

Do a quick search under Spartan turn signals on the web.
All kind of info and wiring diagrams available not sure which would be applicable but seems common on CJ 5 Jeeps.
Good luck Cheers

I googled M38A1Cdn2 wiring harness and also M37B1 turn signals, and both searches will bring up your turn signal system. The Cdn 2 wiring diagram is actually on this site. Below I have attached a photo shamelessly stolen from the internet which shows the relay box you are asking about.
There are the solid state dignal kits which replaced these earlier boxes, but since your truck is rather unique, I would think you would want to keep the original set-up. I do recall seeing the installation kits available at one of the US suppliers like Saturn surplus, but I can't find the source now. Found it. It was Saturn surplus who has the NSN: 2590-00-906-0155 boxes listed: http://saturnsurplus.com/electrical/0155.htm Last edited by rob love; 11-07-15 at 17:02.

Thank you Bob & Rob. That is the same box for sure! I looked it up on Saturn Surplus but they will not ship to Canada. Is there a way around this?
I also found a wiring diagram as you mentioned & it should clarify the stop light mystery. Jack
