Sorry if this isn’t the right community. I’m adding blinkers to a side-by-side and I have the blinkers working. However I can’t understand how to connect the hazard switch to the blinkers without losing the blinker functionality. When I connect them it makes both blinkers go off when I try to use the blinkers. Is someone able to point me in the right direction? Thanks!

    I’m no expert, just a hobiest with a basic understanding of electricity.

    If I understand correctly, you basically bridged the turn signal bulbs together when you wired in the hazard relay.

    I would install 2 diodes (12v 10amp or so) between the hazard relay and the turn signal bulbs. Diodes only allow electricity to flow one way, so it should prevent current from flowing from one bulb to the other through your wiring

      Yeah that’s the only thing I can think of too. I don’t think the kit came with diodes which made me think I was misunderstanding something. Thanks! I will have to go with this unless there is another trick.

      Edit: ended up going with diodes and it works great!
